Issue Can't see X-Spam headers on clean messages

[pmg]

Server operating system version

Linux

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.71 Update #2

I've added pretty basic cf to /etc/spamassassin:

add_header all spam_rules _TESTSSCORES_

`spamassassin --lint` completes without issues.
I've run `sa-update -D` and `systemctl restart spamassassin.service`.
But this header is still missing on incoming messages.
Please advise.

PS: Last time I've seen such behavior - amavisd (managing SpamAssasin) was to blame.

Do you use a setup in which amavis manages SpamAssasin (this is the case when you're using the Plesk Email Security extension for example)? If so, try restarting amavisd too.

Hey @Kaspar , apologize for misleading remark regarding amavis. The host is pure Plesk Obsidian, no 3rd-party tools. Idea of that remark was to ask: perhaps Plesk is controlling what headers to add and where to add them?

I see, first try restarting SpamAssasin trough Plesk with /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/spammng --restart . However my guess would be that there is perhaps something not quite right right with the rule your created. If restarting SA does not change anything, try create a test message file to directly test your custom rule via command line. E.g spamassassin -d -t -L /root/dir/test-message.eml

Hey @Kaspar ,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've run the same email through the local test you've suggested and I can clearly see my custom header:

# spamassassin -d -t -L ./Test3.eml
Sep  9 19:59:09.041 [2503663] warn: config: created user preferences file: /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.6 (2021-04-09) on

X-Spam-spam_rules: FREEMAIL_FROM=0.001,HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,
    SPOOFED_FREEMAIL=0.001
...

As you can see, my defined `spam_rules` header is in place when I run it through the CLI check.
