Using the Command Line Interface

Admins can also use the Warden command line interface to add custom rules. You can view the available options using:

warden --task=antispam:rules --help

Example:

warden --task=antispam:rules --oper=rule_add --name=TEST --description='some description' --type=header --value='Subject =~ viagra' --score=100

Verifying Custom Rules

Go to Logs -> Message Log where you can see a breakdown of any matched rules under the Tests: line when clicking on the plus icon for a message entry in the message log (Amavis must be in verbose mode under Settings -> Content Filter Settings -> Filter Settings). Any matched custom rules will be in the list.

Admins can also go to Tools -> Spam Report to paste in the full source of a message. This will also give you a breakdown of any rules that were matched by the message. Any matched custom rules will be in the list.
