Hello,
How to force SpamAssassin to filter messages on the subject?

Much of the spam to me is in the subject: 100%, %%%

My bad... I did a google search, it was the first link, and I 
mentally glanced over it and it looked fine.. :)

Thanks for the updated link :)

Please don't reference the old comcast.net documents. They're quite
out-of-date and I've not been in control of that account for a few years
now.

While that's certainly true and SA does not filter in the "sorting"
sense of an MDA, it yet actually *is* a filter itself. Sorry, end of
nit-pick. ;)

Of course, and creating multiple, moderately scoring rules for
particular patterns is the SA way.

The OP kind of seems to be a request for "dumping mail based on bare-
words", though. Which is not what SA stands for, and indeed usually is
quite a bad idea.


Kind of wonder what the problem actually is. Spam with such a Subject
hardly ever scores below 15 here. I guess it's a mis-configuration or
disabled network tests. So the real solution is not a poison-pill
(that's how I read the word "force"), but fixing the problem.

Spamassassin doesn't 'filter'.

You can probably do something in your MTA to 'filter' messages based 
on subject - ie procmail, if you're looking to do 'filtering', ie 
move a message to a folder, delete it, etc.

But in SpamAssassin,  you can do is create a custom rule based on the subject.
