spamassassin can't rewrite subject in cpanel 11?

[babaganoosh]

I am using cpanel 11 and being told that I can't rewrite the subject of emails that are spam. Spam assassin IS adding info in the header like:

X-Spam-Subject: [SPAM] test message
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=1002.4
X-Spam-Score: 10024
X-Spam-Bar: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

but I don't know how to write a mail rule in outlook express to read the header items and act on them. (the subject above has [spam] added, but the regular / displayed subject does NOT include the [spam] so it doesn't get put in the spam folder.

thanks!

In WHM -> Service Configuration -> Exim Configuration Editor, what do you have in the text field for the following setting:

SpamAssassin: Text to be added Subject line for messages marked as spam

Hello,

I've got an account with a hosting company, and I used to be able to customize the SpamAssassin Subject line rewrite to include the score (_HITS_) via cPanel. This company just upgraded to cPanel 11.23.6-RELEASE 27698 and they are now claiming that the ability to add the Score to Subject line rewrites is now gone. Is this true?


Thanks,

Thanks for the links, but is there a non-global way to accomplish the same thing that does not change the Subject line rewrite for all users? Basically, some way to accomplish the same thing that the old "rewrite_header subject **SPAM _HITS_**" instruction in the user_prefs file in the /.spamassassin folder used to do?

You can enable the "old system" in the exim configuration editor. However it will result in a MAJOR performance decrease.

Nick,

Thanks for the information. I'll make the suggestion and see what happens.

I don't suppose there's a way to keep the former functionality WITHOUT the big performance hit?
