I have a "follow on" question, so I'll add it to this thread: Assuming that it's a good idea to feed "Caught" spams through sa-learn in order to reinforce the tokens that might not have been autolearned, how do I tell SA to ignore the "**** SPAM ****" notice in the subject? I have ignore-header commands in local.cf for the "X-Spam-Status: Yes" and other spam headers, but how do I skip only a portion of the subject? TIA. Bill
