With netscape you can't count (as my knowledge) inside an header, but can check an header contains or start, so what about a simply
different tag definition in mailscanner.conf for an high score ? It's more cleaner in the raw message, rather than a row of "*" (in my
opinion obviously...).
So the mailscanner administrator can choose it's own form of telling to the users that the email is really a spam.
