Question

You can use the following command to read the rules applied.

# su cpaneleximscanner -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/536/bin/spamassassin -D < /path/to/message'

You can also use spamc to check by running the following command:

# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/spamc < /path/to/message

Note: you will need to replace /path/to/message with the full path to the message to scan.
