If you want to increase the spam score based on something, do it in SpamAssassin. If you want to block the mail based on something, you should usually do it before the mail gets to SpamAssassin. Of course, there are always exceptions and things that SA can test for that postfix can't. A simple word match shouldn't cause any problems, though. Bowie
