Declude

This web page will send various E-mails to you that should fail some spam tests. Note that it is designed for spam tests included in Declude JunkMail, and is designed to make sure that the software is installed correctly. It is not designed to determine how effective an anti-spam tool is. If the anti-spam tool has the appropriate test, the E-mail should definitely fail that test. If the anti-spam tool does not have the appropriate test, it is not logically possible for the E-mail to fail the test.

It is also important to notice there is a very big difference between failing 1 spam test and being marked as spam (for example, we recommend not blocking E-mail that fails the SPAMHEADERS test). If you are running Declude JunkMail, and send the SPAMHEADERS E-mail, you should see "SPAMHEADERS" appear in the X-Spam-Tests-Failed: header and the log file, but the E-mail should not be blocked.

Name	Description
BADHEADERS	An E-mail with broken headers
ROUTING	An E-mail apparently sent from a U.S. spammer to another U.S. recipient, via a foreign mailserver.
SPAMHEADERS	An E-mail with spam-like (but valid) headers.

NOTE: These may or may not get caught, depending on your spam software. These were specifically designed for the Declude JunkMail software, and may or may not be caught as spam with other software. If they are not caught, that does not mean that there is a problem with your anti-spam software.
