DESCRIPTION
spamassassin is a simple front-end filter for SpamAssassin.

Using the SpamAssassin rule base, it uses a wide range of heuristic
tests on mail headers and body text to identify "spam", also known as
unsolicited bulk email. Once identified, the mail is then tagged as
spam for later filtering using the user's own mail user-agent
application.

Please note that SpamAssassin is not designed to scan large messages.
Don't feed messages larger than about 500 KB to SpamAssassin, as this
will consume a huge amount of memory.

OPTIONS
-e, --error-code, --exit-code
Exit with a non-zero error code, if the message is determined to be
spam.

-h, --help
Print help message and exit.

-V, --version
Print version and exit.

-t, --test-mode
Test mode. Pipe message through and add extra report. Note that
the report text assumes that the message is spam, since in normal
use it is only visible in this case. Pay attention to the score
instead.

If you run this with -d, the message will first have SpamAssassin
markup removed before being tested.

-r, --report
Report this message as manually-verified spam. This will submit
the mail message read from STDIN to various spam-blocker databases.
Currently, these are the Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse
"http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/", Pyzor
"http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/", Vipul's Razor
"http://razor.sourceforge.net/", and SpamCop
"http://www.spamcop.net/".

If the message contains SpamAssassin markup, the markup will be
stripped out automatically before submission. The support modules
for DCC, Pyzor, and Razor must be installed for spam to be reported
to each service. SpamCop reports will have greater effect if you
register and set the "spamcop_to_address" option.

The message will also be submitted to SpamAssassin's learning
systems; currently this is the internal Bayesian statistical-
filtering system (the BAYES rules). (Note that if you only want to
perform statistical learning, and do not want to report mail to
third-parties, you should use the "sa-learn" command directly
instead.)

-k, --revoke
Revoke this message. This will revoke the mail message read from
STDIN from various spam-blocker databases. Currently, these are
Vipul's Razor.

Revocation support for the Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse,
Pyzor, and SpamCop is not currently available.

--lint
Syntax check (lint) the rule set and configuration files, reporting
typos and rules that do not compile correctly. Exits with 0 if
there are no errors, or greater than 0 if any errors are found.

-W, --add-to-whitelist
Add all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail
message read from STDIN, to a persistent address whitelist. Note
that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with a
persistent address list plugin enabled for this to work.

--add-to-blacklist
Add all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail
message read from STDIN, to the persistent address blacklist. Note
that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with a
persistent address list plugin enabled for this to work.

-R, --remove-from-whitelist
Remove all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail
message read from STDIN, from a persistent address list. STDIN must
contain a full email message, so to remove a single address you
should use --remove-addr-from-whitelist instead.

Note that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with a
persistent address list plugin enabled for this to work.

--add-addr-to-whitelist
Add the named email address to a persistent address whitelist.
Note that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with a
persistent address list plugin enabled for this to work.

--add-addr-to-blacklist
Add the named email address to a persistent address blacklist.
Note that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with a
persistent address list plugin enabled for this to work.

--remove-addr-from-whitelist
Remove the named email address from a persistent address whitelist.
Note that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with a
persistent address list plugin enabled for this to work.

--ipv4only, --ipv4-only, --ipv4
Do not use IPv6 for DNS tests. Normally, SpamAssassin will try to
detect if IPv6 is available, using only IPv4 if it is not. Use if
the existing tests for IPv6 availability produce incorrect results
or crashes.

-L, --local
Do only the ''local'' tests, ones that do not require an internet
connection to operate. Normally, SpamAssassin will try to detect
whether you are connected to the net before doing these tests
anyway, but for faster checks you may wish to use this.

be reformatted due to some features of the Mail::Internet package,
but the body text will be.)

-C path, --configpath=path, --config-file=path
Use the specified path for locating the distributed configuration
files. Ignore the default directories (usually
"/usr/share/spamassassin" or similar).

--siteconfigpath=path
Use the specified path for locating site-specific configuration
files. Ignore the default directories (usually "/etc/spamassassin"
or similar).

--cf='config line'
Add additional lines of configuration directly from the command-
line, parsed after the configuration files are read. Multiple
--cf arguments can be used, and each will be considered a separate
line of configuration. For example:

spamassassin -t --cf="body NEWRULE /text/" --cf="score NEWRULE 3.0"

-p prefs, --prefspath=prefs, --prefs-file=prefs
Read user score preferences from prefs (usually
"$HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs").

--progress
Prints a progress bar (to STDERR) showing the current progress.
This option will only be useful if you are redirecting STDOUT (and
not STDERR). In the case where no valid terminal is found this
option will behave very much like the --showdots option in other
SpamAssassin programs.

-D [area,...], --debug [area,...]
Produce debugging output. If no areas are listed, all debugging
information is printed. Diagnostic output can also be enabled for
each area individually; area is the area of the code to instrument.
For example, to produce diagnostic output on bayes, learn, and dns,
use:

spamassassin -D bayes,learn,dns

Higher priority informational messages that are suitable for
logging in normal circumstances are available with an area of
"info".

For more information about which areas (also known as channels) are
available, please see the documentation at:

L<http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/DebugChannels>

-x, --nocreate-prefs
Disable creation of user preferences file.

--mbox
