Hi there,

I have been searching the archives of the list for the best method to
disabling the spam assassin's subject tagging (*** SPAM ***). I didn't
find a definitive answer, so I wanted to post for confirmation what I
did (for another set of eyes).

All I did was:

# vi /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

and added:

report_safe 0
# Disable subject rewrites
*--> rewrite_subject 0*
rewrite_header Subject ***SPAM***


Is this sufficient? And no other side effects?

Thanks!


It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you want to skip SA scanning entirely, which would eliminate a good deal of processing, I'd modify the /var/qmail/control/simcontrol file to specify spam=no. This would turn of SA scanning.

If you still want to scan so that you get a scoring header in the message (which some clients can filter based on), but simply do not want to change the subject line, then I think you would simply comment out (or remove) the line:
rewrite_header Subject ***SPAM***

I believe you'll need to restart spamassassin after changing the local.cf file, like so:
# qmail-spam restart
