> # Local Rule for Emoticons in subject > subject EMOTICON_IN_SUBJECT Subject =~ /\p{Emoticons}/ The rule should start with "header", that's what's causing the lint failure. However, AFAIK, the rule still won't work because \p{Emoticons} isn't supported in spamassassin, which works on byte sequences. You need to rewrite it to match UTF-8 bytes.
