Like Bowie mentioned, --lint is the way you want to go to check if your rules are valid. Assumed you put the rules/configuration in your etc/spamassassin directory and the --lint didn't produce any warnings your rules/config should be fine. To actually check if both problems are solved you can use the sample messages again. Simply run a 'spamassassin < sample-non-spam.txt > report.txt This will create a file called report.txt that contains the spam report for the sample ham file. You may need to call a 'clear_headers' before you define your own report format. By adding the word FreeScore360 in the body of the sample mail and running spamassassin again you can also check if your custom rule is working. It should now get the score of 5 points for the custom rule.
