debug

Specifies whether to turn on debugging in the libspamass.so. Debugging of spamd itself is controlled by the command line invoking spamd. Set to 0 or 1.

0 

field

Specifies the string prefix for the SpamAssassin result. SpamAssassin results look like this: 

Spam-Test: False ; 0.0 / 5.0 Spam-Test: True ; 27.7 / 5.0

The field option provides the means for changing the Spam-Test: part of the result. Note that the “: “ is removed if an empty field value is specified.

If USE_CHECK is set to 0, the result string will look similar to this:

Spam-test: False ; 0.3 / 4.5 ; HTML_MESSAGE,NO_REAL_NAME 

Spam-test: True ; 8.8 / 4.5 ; NIGERIAN_BODY, NO_REAL_NAME,PLING_PLING,RCVD_IN_SBL,SUBJ_ALL_CAPS 

“Spam-test” 

host

The name of the system where spamd is running.

localhost 

mode

Controls the translation of SpamAssassin filter results to verdict information. That is, it specifies what verdict information is returned after a message is processed. Four modes are available. See The SpamAssassin mode Option for further explanation.

0 - Return a verdict string (specified by the verdict option), if the message is spam. The MTA option spamfilterX_string_action can be used to specify what to do if a verdict string is returned. If the verdict option (defined below) is empty or unspecified, and message is spam, a null verdict is returned. The MTA option spamfilterX_null_action can be used to specify what to do if a null verdict is returned.

Returns a SpamAssassin default result string if it is not spam. (A default verdict always means to take no action and deliver as normal.)

1 - Returns the SpamAssassin result string if the message is found to be spam. Returns a SpamAssassin default result string if it is not spam. (Again, a default verdict always means to take no action and deliver as normal.) A SpamAssassin result string looks something like this: True; 6.5 / 7.3

2 - Same as mode 1 except that the SpamAssassin result string is returned regardless of whether the message is spam or not spam. No default or null verdict is ever returned and the verdict option is never used.

3 - Return the SpamAssassin result string if the message is found to be spam; return the verdict string specified by the verdict option if it is not. You can control the action for the SpamAssassin result string by using the spamfilterX_verdict_n and spamfilterX_action_n matched pair. You can control the action for the verdict string by using spamfilterX_string_action.

0 

port

USE_CHECK

1 - The spamd CHECK command is used to return the SpamAssassin score.
