Subject Rewrite Help

[jgao]

I need to make subject rewrite work with Sendmail, Spamassassin, spamass-milter and Scalix, in the way as adding *****SPAM***** to the beginning of Subject.

I used the local.cf generated by the configuration tool on Spassassin site, http://www.yrex.com/spam/spamconfig.php, and replaced the /etc/mail/spassassin/local.cf. After I restarted everything, the /var/log/maillog display the spam as :

Milteradd: header: X-Spam-Flag: YES
Milter add: header: X-Spam-Status: Yes

But the email subject still remains the same as original for the SAPM marked ones.

How to make this work in scalix environment here?

Everything commented out in the file /etc/syconfig/spamass-milter. It says the -f default option is to run spamass-milter in the background. What options to use if I want to change it? what to do to -f?

Thanks.

### Override for your different local config
#SOCKET=/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock

### Standard parameters for spamass-milter are:
### -P /var/run/spamass-milter.pid (PID file)
###
### Note that the -f parameter for running the milter in the background
### is not required because the milter runs in a wrapper script that
### backgrounds itself
###
### You may add another parameters here, see spamass-milter(1)

Hi jgao,

If you look in your /etc/init.d/spamass-milter file, you have:

Code: Select all

EXTRA_FLAGS="-m -r 15"

If you look at the man pages for spamass-milter:

Code: Select all

     -m      Disables modification of the Subject: and Content-Type: head-
             ers and message body.  This is useful when SpamAssassin is con-
             figured with defang_mime 0 and report_header 1, or when SA is
             simply used to add headers for postprocessing later.  Updating
             the body through the milter interface can be slow for large mes-
             sages.

So, you'll need to remove the -m flag in order to rewrite the Subject: line.

Thanks,
Rachel
