I'm surprised that I haven't seen this discussed yet, so I thought I'd
ask: now that the FTC has made its ruling as to the mandatory
subject-line label for pornographic spam, are the spamassassin
developers intending to add a rule for it, or do they think it is
pointless?

Executive summary: the subject line of all pornographic spam sent to
US systems must begin with "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT: " exactly as shown
(excluding the quotes, but including the final space) in upper case,
in ASCII, as the first 19 characters of the subject line.

The rule comes into force on 19th May.
