Thanks, that helps... I'm running it locally, on one user account until I can get it working, hence the .procmailrc file. I ran 'spamassassin --lint 'and it didn't complain, but still no header rewrite. Not running spamd yet. It is processing the email, modifying the original message per report_safe, and adding other headers, it just won't rewrite the subject line!!! Is there a particular place in the config file where it belongs? Here's the meat of my config file:
---- required_score 1.0 rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM***** report_safe 1 lock_method flock ----
And a sample from a message that was processed

If I try to have SA rewrite the header and insert a spam tag in the subject field it just allows everything through. I've tried several methods; rewrite_header, rewrite_subject, subject_tag... I've tried them in the .procmailrc file, and also in the local.cf file for SA. Any suggestions?
Well *clearly* the .procmailrc file is NOT the place to put SA settings.
1) put them in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
2) run spamassassin --lint *every* time you edit this file. If it complains, fix the problem.
3) if you use spamd, restart it *every* time you edit this file.
4) consult perldoc Mail::SpamAssasin::Conf or man Mail::SpamAssasin::Conf for the proper options for your SA version.
the proper syntax for SA 3.0 would appear to be:
rewrite_header subject *SPAM*
However, if spamassassin --lint finds errors with any part of your config, all bets are off as SA may ignore *large* parts of your configfile when recovering from the error.
