Tagging the mail which already has X-Spam headers

[Nikita Kipriyanov <me...@otaku.ru>]

Hello,

SpamAssassin tags mail with headers X-Spam-.... But, what if there were 
some headers like these, as with mail that already passed someones 
SpamAssassin and has X-Spam-Score, before being recieved by my server?

Will it remove them, replace them or simply add new ones? In the latter 
case, how do I tell headers, added by my SpamAssassin, from headers, 
that were there before my mail server?

Those won't matter.

SpamAssassin will replace existing markup when writing new markup to
the files.  So you will be okay.
