I do!
DSpam is not SpamAssassin.
.. for which I am grateful!
So to answer your original question, No there is no way to test DSpam
with an EICAR like test message.
I understand that, but thanks for stating it clearly anyway.
The confusion was either with Tony thinking I wanted to incorporate
basic signature scanning for viruses into dspam, or me thinking that's
what he thought, which lead to me explaining in more detail what I was
originally asking. By that point the fact that it could not be done due
to dspam's architecture had been stated (which answered my original
question).
If it were trivial to implement a simple GTUBE test (separately from
normal scanning, probably disabled by default in the prefs file) that
aided configuration tests I still think that would be useful, but it
sounds like its use would only be limited to my personal case :-) I
might look at whether I can work out a quick patch for my own private
use if I get a moment to think about it, but for the time being
integrating clamav with dspam and testing with EICAR is usually close
enough for what I need.
