rewrite of Subject: in 3.0.1

[Rich <rg...@ellerbach.com>]

Is there a way in user_prefs to rewrite the Subject lines to add a suffix
like [really spam] if the score exceeds a particular value? The host
provides SA but doesn't provide procmail and so the easy way out isn't an
option. I had a look at the POD for Conf but didn't see anything that
indicated I could do this but I thought I'd better ask the pros.

Maybe someone else knows, but not that I'm aware of.

You could set something up in your mail client....

 Use STARS.  Ugly, but then you can filter on a long line of stars.

Can your mail client scan other headers?  You can scan X-Spam-Level for 20

I wanted the term included rather than a score so I can setup a filter in
the mail client to dump those messages that are above a ceretain score,
say 20, into the "dead-certain spam" bucket while those below 20 but about
the spam threshold (8 in my case) into the "probably spam" bucket. The
mail client filters aren't smart enough to deal with a numeric value but
perl is and I had hoped there was a little-known way of actually invoking
a small scriptlet inside of user_prefs.

I think the closest you can get it to have SA put the score in the 
subject:

rewrite_header subject [SPAM _SCORE_]

I believe that option works in user_prefs, if not I'm sure someone will 
correct me.
