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
