Thanks for the quick reply Dominic, I just checked and the SApermreject is set sensible for now. The latter part of your email refers to SA-Flagged messages, how do I make sure this is working, as I have enabled rewrite_header in /etc/spamassassin/local.cf. <http://local.cf/>
How do I add a message rule that subject starts with *****SPAM***** ? Do I add to my local.cf? I'm sure I did this already.
