I'm using a filtering rule that checks for a minimum amount of *'s in the spam-level header. If it finds 6 or more then the message is redirected to my spam folder for later review.
I was suprised to see this message did not get redirected as it scored 6. Yet the spam level has only 5 *'s. I'm using SpamAssassin 3.01, any comments? Here are the headers of the message.
