No. We really have more than enough spam already, so we don't really need you to forward spam to the SpamAssassin users mailing list, submit bugs for missed spam, or send it directly to the developers.

Wiki MarkupIt's worth noting that there may already be rules to catch this spam. Try running "sa-update", see [RuleUpdates]. Also, \[http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm RulesEmporium\] is a great resource for additional rules and scripts that are not included with SA by default.

Nevertheless, there are ways in which you may be able to help, if there are no rules yet.

And rather than post your messages onto the list, which sends your spam to hundreds or thousands of people on the list, it's often better to post your messages on a web site, and give us a link to it. Those of us who do spam analysis can retrieve the message from you without tying up others' resources.

Services like SpamCop would be more than happy to receive your spam message if your fully up-to-date SpamAssassin filters missed it. SpamCop can process the spam message and automatically send out abuse reports to the network administrators responsible for the origin of the spam. The message will also be recorded to the SpamCop database which is used by SpamAssassin to detect spam messages. Other SpamAssassin users may benefit from your efforts to report spam! If you enable the SpamCop plugin, just run spamassassin -r to report a spam message.
