Description

This article describes how to test if your antispam solution is working with AXIGEN

Resolution

To test if the antispam software is working correctly and is detecting spam mails, use the following procedure:

* Go to the GTUBE website(Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email)
* Copy the 68-byte string from that page into the body of a test message.
Then all you have to do is send an e-mail via AXIGEN with this string inserted. You will then be able to see if the antispam software is detecting spam mails by examining the log files.
