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.

       The default tagging operations that take place are detailed in
       "TAGGING" in spamassassin.

       By default, message(s) are read in from STDIN (< mailmessage), or from
       specified files and directories (path ...)  STDIN and files are assumed
       to be in file format, with a single message per file.  Directories are
       assumed to be in a format where each file in the directory contains
       only one message (directories are not recursed and filenames containing
       whitespace or beginning with "." or "," are skipped).  The options
       --mbox and --mbx can override the assumed format, see the appropriate
       OPTION information below.

       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.

           If the message contains SpamAssassin markup, the markup will be
           stripped out automatically before submission.  The support modules
           for Razor must be installed for spam to be revoked from the
           service.

           The message will also be submitted as 'ham' (non-spam) 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.)

       --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.

           Note that SpamAssassin's network rules are run in parallel.  This
           can cause overhead in terms of the number of file descriptors
           required if --local is not used; it is recommended that the minimum
           limit on fds be raised to at least 256 for safety.

       -d, --remove-markup
           Remove SpamAssassin markup (the "SpamAssassin results" report,
           X-Spam-Status headers, etc.) from the mail message.  The resulting
           message, which will be more or less identical to the original, pre-
           SpamAssassin input, will be output to STDOUT.

           (Note: the message will not be exactly identical; some headers will
           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/mail/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
           Specify that the input message(s) are in mbox format.  mbox is a
           standard Unix message folder format.

       --mbx
           Specify that the input message(s) are in UW .mbx format.  mbx is
           the mailbox format used within the University of Washington's IMAP
           implementation; see "http://www.washington.edu/imap/".
