[gentoo-user] Spamassassin: Ignoring setup ???

[Meino Christian Cramer <Meino.Cramer@gmx.de>]

Hi,

 I am using spamassassin in combination with exim and Emacs/Mew to
 handle my mails. 

 Everything seems to work well. Spamassassin recognizes spam and write
 a 

   X-Spam_score: 5.1
   X-Spam_score_int: 51
   X-Spam_bar: +++++
   X-Spam_report: Spam detection software, running on the system "solfire", has	identified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original message	has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label	similar future email.  If you have any questions, see	the administrator of that system for details.

 -field into the header of suspicious mails (exact output depends on
 the spam contents itsself).

 Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to convince Mew to scan not
 only the "official" mail header parts like "To:", "From:" and such
 but also any other entry in the header.

 What remains is: I have to look for spam myself and being "happy",
 that spamassassin has judged this or that mail as spam also.

 It would be nice, if spamassassin would put a "***SPAM***" directly
 into the "Subject:"-field, which can be scanned by Mew.

 In /etc/spamassassin/local.cf I found the following entry:

    #   Add *****SPAM***** to the Subject header of spam e-mails
    #
    rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****
    add-header
 
 but.....it seems to achieve nothing.

 Do I have to "enable" this somewhere else? Or why is spamassassin
 silently ignoring my wishes.

 Am I spam mysself ? ;) ;O))

 I would be hapy about any hint about this problem!
 Kind regards,
 Meino Cramer
