You should look into whether or not your spam filtering software can 
be a bit more sophisticated about how it tags spam. SpamAssassin, for 
instance, defaults to changing the subject to:

  ****SPAM**** Original Subject Heading

That means you can filter on the word "spam" within the asterisks, 
which will let this subject heading through your filters.

SpamAssassin also adds certain custom headers that can be used 
instead of subject heading filtering, but different versions add 
different headers, so I use the subject heading filtering, instead.
