Subject line still getting changed

[Rob Sharp <ro...@boringbutgood.com>]

Evening all,

I have an email account on a shared server at Hostgator. I have 
configured SpamAssassin via their Cpanel interface not to rewrite the 
subject line when flagging an item as spam. However, this flagging still 
seems to be happening.

All messages that SA determines as spammy has [SPAM] prefixed to the 
subject line.

I have manually overridden report_safe to 0.

Can someone please tell me what other directives control the subject 
line rewriting?

X-Spam-Checker-Version says version=3.3.0-r613124 , however, that seems 
like a newer version that currently available on the SA website!?!?

rewrite_subject was an option in 2.x I think.

see Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf for rewrite_header options

My Host just told me to add "rewrite_subject 0" into my user_prefs. I
think they actually mean rewrite_header. I've just added it, and now
need to wait for a spammy message to arrive to give it a test.

I thought I'd mention it since it was the only thing I had changed
from the default and didnt know if it had any bearing.

there's header rewriting set up somwehere.

That's a different parameter.

search config files (system and user's) for rewrite_header option.
