testmempoolaccept JSON-RPC command

testmempoolaccept ["rawtx",...] ( allowhighfees )

2. allowhighfees    (boolean, optional, default=false) Allow high fees

Result

[                   (array) The result of the mempool acceptance test for each raw transaction in the input array.
                            Length is exactly one for now.

  "txid"           (string) The transaction hash in hex
  "allowed"        (boolean) If the mempool allows this tx to be inserted
