I thought that at first too, but I looked at the header and SpamAssassin
was not marking it as spam. The email has "*****SPAM*****" in the
subject line though. I have a procmail script that filters out marked
spam by status in header. These messages are not getting caught by
SpamAssassin that is why I asked about how to match "*****SPAM*****"
with SpamAssassin.
On second thought, I might just use procmail to filter out emails with
"*****SPAM*****" in the subject. Might be simpler than getting
SpamAssassin to match it.
Thanks

The ***SPAM*** you are seeing is actually being INSERTED by
SpamAssassin (or, potentially SpamDyke). It is not there upon receipt
(e.g.: the spammer is not self-identifying the message as SPAM --
that's your SPAM protection working for you!)
Most clients want SPAM to be /identified/, but not necessarily
_BLOCKED _(because of the potential for false positives). Thus, in my
experience, most will create a "rule" in their mail client (Outlook,
Thunderbird, etc) that moves messages with the string "***SPAM***" in
the subject to a "junk" or "spam" folder for later perusal.
I hope this is helpful...

For about two weeks now, I have been getting nailed with tons of
spam. I even had to drop my spamassassin score a point because so
much was getting through just under the threshold. I noticed that
some of the spam was getting through with "*****SPAM*****" in the
subject line. I have tried to filter it out with spamassassin's
subject filter, but asterisks are special characters and seem to be
hard to match.
Does anyone know how to match an asterisk with spamassassin or is
there a better way?
