Help! rewrite_header subject not working for me
Hi,
I have been reading and I don't see my problem exactly. This is my local.cf I am using 3.1.7 I have report_safe =1 and the rewrite_header set. from the docs "For the Subject header, this will be prepended to the original subject." the problem i have is the string is not prepended to the original subject, it replaces it. I have an example below. Why? What am I missing here?
rbl_timeout 15
fold_headers 1
report_contact tonyg@guadagno.org
required_score 5
use_auto_whitelist 1
rewrite_header Subject **SPAM-(score: _SCORE_)**
skip_rbl_checks 0
report_safe 1
dns_available yes
use_razor2 0
use_pyzor 0
# SURBL
uridnsbl_timeout 2
uridnsbl_max_domains 20
# Bayes
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 12.0

bayes_auto_expire 1
bayes_learn_to_journal 0
bayes_expiry_max_db_size 150000
bayes_journal_max_size 102400

Subject: **SPAM-(score:20.1)**
original subject
Subject: High Quality Rolex Replica Watches!
If there is a way for me to forward an example, please let me know and I will. I tried and it was bounced back as spam .... lol

I've never seen that behavior before, or anything remotely resembling it.
You've posted 3 times now, but never with any different information...
I'm taking some wild guesses here but:
1) How do you call spamassassin? do you use amavis, qmail-scanner,
mailscanner or the like? or just a call to spamc from procmail?
2) Does this happen to all spam, or just some? If some, have you looked
at the raw message to see if it contains two Subject: headers in the
original?

In this case, only the headers will matter, you should be able to
forward an example of just the headers without triggering any
substantial score. (The list kicks back at a fairly high score threshold..)
Odds are it's a URL in the body causing every SURBL in existence to
fire, while it doesn't matter here because you can leave the body out,
generally speaking you can post most spams if you mangle the URLs.

I guess i don't understand, you say that "Rewriting the subject is ultimately the responsibility of the MTA.", but SA has this option, so that means that it is SA's responsibility...right?

Rewriting the subject is ultimately the responsibility of the MTA.
So, question is:
What MTA are you using and how does it link SA?
