The generic option available with SA is, to use the score template tag
for the rewrite_header config.
It can be done, but not with SpamAssassin. You'll need to work with the
program that calls SA.
This actually should quite easily be doable with a plugin.
Basically, you need a plugin that defines a template tag, with the value
depending on the score. Then use that template tag for Subject
rewriting.

Re: Subject Rewrite Based on Score
Spamassassin Version 3.2.5 I am curious if it is possible to rewrite the subject based on the value of the score. A example of this would be if a score of 4.0 was given the subject would state [Potential Spam], but if it was 5.0-10.0 then it is [SPAM] if it was greater then 10.0 it would be [SUPER SPAM]. I understand this may seem odd but I am just trying to fill the request of the client and what they want. I would appreciate any incite, I am willing to do the scripting for this if needed, but I would appreciate a point in the right direction please. It is possible to use X-Spam-Level: header to check out the spamminess level. That may or not be what your client needs. I use that for the exact purpose I image they are needing. It's sometimes better to offer an alternative solution to what the client asks.. Dunno.
Re: Subject Rewrite Based on Score
I actually would be doing that but the filter does not know how to handle int(), so I would have to build a filter for all possible number combinations, but if I could just get SA to do the basic math for me and write a header or subject I can filter off of that.

If integer thresholds suffice for the purpose, you can just match on the number of asterisks (or whichever characters) in the X-Spam-Level header field. Mark

Hi, I actually would be doing that but the filter does not know how to handle int(), so I would have to build a filter for all possible number combinations, but if I could just get SA to do the basic math for me and write a header or subject I can filter off of that. We do something similar here using a procmail/formail script which calls a perl script to match on X-Spam-Status then rewrite the subject to include the bayes score prepended to the subject. We then use a few procmail rules to filter the mail based on the bayes score for analysis. Regards, Alex

*boggle*
That sounds overly complicated and like a lot of wasted cycles. Calling
a Perl script for each message? What you just described sounds a hell of
lot like this light-weight SA configuration:
rewrite_header Subject _BAYES_
However, rather than munging the Subject, I'd strongly suggest to use
something like this, and have SA add a dedicated header.
add_header spam Bayes _BAYES_
See the Template Tags section in the Conf documentation.
We then use a few procmail rules to filter the mail based on the bayes
score for analysis.
Yes, use the dedicated header as per above. There is NO need to mess
with the Subject or any commonly user-visible header, for analysis. Even
less so, when using something like procmail, which perfectly understands
headers.

there are others.
rewrite_header Subject *SPAM* _SCORE(00)_ **
The result looks like this for spam:
Subject: *SPAM* 065.8 ** RE: Pharmacy Online Sale 88% OFF!
Note that you can sort the spam by score by sorting by subject.

It still is spawning a Perl process per message. You can do away with
that processing hog, if you use the add_header rule I mentioned before
and have SA do it instead.
