Stop delivery of SPAM...

How can I stop delivery of SPAM? I have this entry in local.cf:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Text to prepend to subject if rewrite_subject is used
subject_tag             *****SPAM*****
-----------------------------------------------------------

I have read the documentation but have not been able to find a way of 
actually stopping delivery of SPAM.

Regards,
Brad

It's fundamentaly impossible for SpamAssassin itself to stop delivery of 
email. SpamAssassin is a mail filter, and as such physicaly cannot alter 
delivery by itself.

However, you CAN configure whatever other tools are in your mailchain to 
discard email that SA has tagged.

I suggest reading the FAQ:
