spam report help

Good morning list.

If I have a body rule checking for various banned words in a message
body, is there a way to indicate which word matched in the spam-report?

eg: when an IP is matched against an RBL, the ip is shown in the
spam-report.

I would like to do the same for a text rule.

Is this possible?

thanks
Tom

body SPAMWORD /^spamword$/
describe SPAMWORD spamword found in body
score SPAMWORD 0.1

Thats exactly what I am doing.
Its shows the description (from the 'describe' section) in the spam
report, not which word was matched.

I believe he is referring to a rule with multiple alternatives.

body SPAMWORD /\b(word1|word2|word3|word4)\b/

You know you have a match, but you don't know WHICH word matched. I
think debug mode is the only way to get this level of detail.

That, or (re-)write the rules to give you the detail of output you need.
