How are you checking Subject: and/or X-Spamcheck* headers? If you are using header_filter_rules and have not modified the GLOBAL_PIPELINE or set a pipeline attribute for the list, the header_filter_rules should be checked before anything else. If this is the case, and the spam isn't being handled according to your rule's action, maybe your rules are not correctly constructed. If you are using bounce_matching_headers, this is checked after list membership and the various *_these_nonmembers tests, and it results an a held message anyway, not a reject or discard. bounce_matching_headers is called "Legacy anti-spam filters" because it's only for compatibility with something from the past. Note also that the entries for header_filter_rules and for bounce_matching_headers don't have the same meaning. For example, an entry of subject: .*spam.* in bounce_matching_headers means match the contents of the subject: header against the regexp '.*spam.*' while the same entry in header_filter_rules means match the entire message header string against the regexp 'subject: .*spam.*'. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
