True for a header that says "this is NOT spam", but what spammer is
going to put in a header saying "this message IS spam" ?
It may be justified to trust an X-Spam: YES header on inbound
messages.
I use procmail's formail to rewrite incoming "X-Spam:" headers both
to preserve then and prevent SpamAssassin from marking up email.
It has not yet proven useful to take "X-False-Spam:" as a header
and declare the value "Yes" to be spam. If it does I'll use it. (Of
course, so LITTLE spam gets through that discovering cases where
paying attention to incoming "X-Spam: Yes" headers would make a
difference rather "tedious.")
