SURBL / URIBL not triggered in SA

[Martin Hepworth]

Philip

to emulate MS's call of SA

spamassassin -p <path-to>/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

where path-to is usually /opt/MailScanner/etc or /etc/MailScanner


If you want to find out a particular mesg is run then edit
MailScanner.conf, change both Debug options to yes, stop MS, and then
run checkmailscanner. It will run a single batch through with all the
debug info, so make sure an good test mesg is included in the inbound queue.
