Online SpamAssassin evaluation / RFC conformant check

Question

I want to check the SpamAssassin SPAM score of E-Mails including headers generated by a script from a WebApp.

Therefore I need to run this mail through SpamAssassin to get the specific SPAM headers like:

Yes, score=6.032 
HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_24=1.282 
HTML_MESSAGE=0.001 
HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG=0.635 
MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY=1.996 
MIME_HTML_ONLY=1.105
RP_MATCHES_RCVD=-0.001 
SPF_PASS=-0.001 
SUBJECT_NEEDS_ENCODING=0.1
SUBJ_ILLEGAL_CHARS=1.105
T_REMOTE_IMAGE=0.01 

One possibility could be to install SpamAssassin on the server and run it through this installation.

Is there some online service where I can paste/send the mail to and this service gives me the SPAM headers?

Yes, I know that you can configure SpamAssassin with different settings and therefore the SPAM score may vary from installation to installation, but a basic evaluation would help already.

Or is there a possibility to check the RFC conformance of a message? (Because SpamAssassin also evaluates this (eg. MIME_HTML_ONLY which means that you have no plain text content and therefore the mail isn't RFC conformant)).

Thanks!!
