Hello All,

I've a mail system running Cyrus+Postfix+Amavisd-new+ClamAV+Spamassassin on 
SuSE Linux Ent. Server 9.

The problem is that non-encoded 8bit data is not allowed in message headers and 
Cyrus-IMAPd prevents from any problem by replacing those chars with X (mail 
program should do encoding according to RFC 2047 on all headers. Unencoded 
8-bit characters aren't allowed in headers). 

In SuSE's distribution there is no munge8bit option for Cyrus (which would 
leave the problematic subject as is but damage the search function) so all 
Subjects in Hebrew/Russian/Etc. sent form Hotmail,Yahoo,... clients arriving to 
users mailboxes changed to XXX.

I have BAYES and RAZOR filters installed.

Here are some headers from one of such mails:
Subject: FW: XXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX
X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=6.8 tag1=-999.0 tag2=5.0 kill=5.0
 tests=FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS, HTML_MESSAGE, MIME_BOUND_NEXTPART,
 MIME_HTML_NO_CHARSET, MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER, SUBJ_ILLEGAL_CHARS
X-Spam-Level: ******

So it seems to me that this high score is due to XXX (or unencoded subjects) in 
the Subject header.

Is there any way to tell Spamassassin to not check in 'Subject' header?


Please Help.



Best Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky
