running mass-checl

Hi,
Is there a special procedure for running mass-check with my custom
rules etc?

I have tried everything (different arguments, hacking source) but it still
seems to only use rules shipped with the tarball i got mass-check from.

I have cf's symlinked to /etc/mail/spamassassin and they score ok in test,
but they don't show up in freqs after running (nor do my backhair, bigevil
etc, which are in the smae dir).

thanks

Yes, of course it's the right cabl [le0: NO CARRIER]

when you run mass check, if ../rules exists, it will use that instead of
the global rules.

Usualy when mass-checking and testing rules, it's convenient to test them
in a "non-live" configuration. I generally do my mass checks by unpacking a
tarball, and adding my rules to the rules subdir of the tarball.

thanks for the reply,

i will give that a try. I totally understand not testing on a live system, the
number of times i could have saved myself a day :)

thanks

Thanks for the reply Bob, your shell script worked a treat without any modification
(i am running redhat 7.3 btw).

I can now see which rules are really working. I also like the suggested scoring and
am experimenting with that now.

I also appologise for the typo in my original mail subject, I've only just noticed.

thanks again

mat
