It's a while since this decision was made, so please forgive me if my memory is
a little hazy or incomplete...
Our objective was to continue the behaviour that our previous
Sendmail/MailScanner set-up provided, in terms of user experience. This meant
that when a message was scored above the set SpamAsassin threshold:
- the original message would be sent to the recipient as an attachment
- the subject line would have a string such as "{Spam?}[Spam score 9.7]"
prepended to the original subject text
- the spam scores would be itemised within the headers and in the body of the
new "containing" message
I'm not completely sure about the last two, but I don't think the first can be
readily achieved other than with exim-sa (which makes it very easy).
Regards
Richard
