Subject score differs from actual score
Hi, I'm running SpamAssassin 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Postfix and Mailman3. Occasionally, SpamAssassin will rewrite a message's subject with a score higher than what's in X-Spam-Status. This is not a rounding issue. For example, I'm looking at an e-mail now with "* SPAM 5.4 *" in the subject but "X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.2 required=5.0" There is no instance of SpamAssassin between the mail server and me that could have added the score to the subject. Here is another one: https://lists.ceph.io/hyperkitty/list/d...@ceph.io/thread/TI3K42RGVJ3ZB6O4NUPNCUWHGVHNDY53/ 8.4 in the subject but "X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.9" Here is my /etc/spamassassin/local.cf (~/.spamassassin config is not used): rewrite_header Subject * SPAM _SCORE_ * report_safe 0 required_score 5.0 use_bayes 1 use_bayes_rules 1 bayes_auto_learn1 skip_rbl_checks 0 use_razor2 0 use_dcc 0 use_pyzor 0 -- David Galloway Systems Administrator, RDU Ceph Engineering IRC: dgalloway

Which leads me to figuring out why my mailman header filter regex isn't working. Anyway, thanks for the help!

I don't /think/ I'm crazy but as a litmus test, I just added my server's hostname to the rewrite_header Subject parameter and will wait for spam to come in.
