If this is something like [***SPAM*** Score/Req: 03.8/3.0], this is
probably the antispam filter of your ISP or email provider. This
feature (I call this a nuisance actually, but it can be use to
filter incoming emails) can sometimes be turn off on the ISP/email
provider site.
A "nuisance" ?? If you were one of my mail customers you would be
singing a different tune. We flag over 8,000 spam messages daily,
most of which are rejected by our blacklists (the customer never sees
these).
Jay,
You misunderstood me, meaning I was not clear enough. Of course, spam
filters are more than useful, they are a necessity (I am a spamcop
user, I should know!).
What is a nuisance IMHO are ISP filters that let mail go through but
add the spam score in the objet line. Unless this is user configurable.
Those scores should be transparent at the end user level.
Spamassassin is user-configurable, the default threshold is "5". Any
message 5 or higher gets flagged. You, the user, can increase/decrease
the default.
The issue raised by the OP was why should "SPAM" be inserted in the
object of an email.
