Hello,

I'd like to setup an email filter that reads the spam score from Apaches SpamAssassin, that redirects emails with a score BELOW 3 to another email address.

I setup with the rules of:
Spam Score -> is below (numbers only) -> 3

This in theory looks like it should work no problem, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Even if I change the action from "redirect" to "move to folder" or even "discard", the filter doesn't do anything.

If I change the rule to something else, like "subject contains" or "sender contains" it works as intended. I just can't get the spam score rule to work. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Something like this should work (this is a really simple version of a rule)

Code:
if
 $h_X-Spam-Bar: contains "+"
 or $h_X-Spam-Bar: contains "++"
 or $h_X-Spam-Bar: contains "+++"
then
 deliver "user@mydomain"

Out of curiosity why would you want to redirect mail that is NOT being marked as spam away from its intended recipient?
