New header rule syntax question

[Scot Hacker <sh...@birdhouse.org>]

I have a rule for a client that causes all of his Movable Type comment
emails NOT  to be tagged as spam even if SA thinks they are:

# Allow blog comments to be delivered
header MT_SUBMISSION Subject =~ /somestring//
describe MT_SUBMISSION Subject: blog comment
score MT_SUBMISSION -20

This rule does not seem to be working in SA3 -- some comment emails are
being tagged as spammy and he's missing them. How would I rewrite this rule
to work under SA3?

If I get a working answer from this list, I'll add it to the SA Wiki (which
just says "see the man page" for this topic).

Thanks,
Scot

Have you tried "spamassassin --lint" on the rule?

That ending // appears to be invalid.

You have one too many "/" in there.  Remove the second one on the end.
