Problem

How to use the Agent Accounting Data File to test your SPAM engine against incoming e-mails, by subject.

Solution

The Agent Accounting Data File gives us, among other things, the subject of all e-mails that have been processed. You can import the Agent Accounting Data File into a spreadsheet and then do a sort to get a list of all e-mails by subject. You can then test these subjects against your third party SPAM engine to see how they score by subject rules and adjust as necessary.

Environment

• NetWare 6.5
• GroupWise 7 (although the Agent Accounting Data File is generated with most versions, I believe)
• My third party SPAM engine is GWAVA
