rspamc: Generate a manual report on an email.
$ rspamc symbols ${path-to-email_file}
try on your machine

The command "rspamc symbols ${path-to-email_file}" is used to extract the symbols (i.e., individual tests or indicators) generated by Rspamd for a given email file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "rspamc" is a command-line utility for interacting with Rspamd, an open-source spam filtering system.
  • "symbols" is a subcommand that tells rspamc to retrieve the symbols for a specific email file.
  • "${path-to-email_file}" is a placeholder for the actual file path of the email you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the correct file path on your system.

By running this command, rspamc communicates with the Rspamd server and requests the symbols generated during the analysis of the specified email file. These symbols represent various aspects of the email, such as message headers, content, attachments, etc., and can help assess the likelihood of the email being spam or containing malicious content.
