Spamassassin reports

[Rose, Bobby]

It's not that hard since I'm already doing it thought I had to rework it
with the new release.  The way I did it was added a MaxSpamHit and value
in my mailscan.conf then added a few lines to config.pl to read it in
with the rest of the options.  All that was just to make it easy to
adjust.

Then %SpamInfo is passed along to the Handlespam routine so that the
score can be regex'd out.  Then another test (besides any other possibel
test like NumScore) is done to see if the score is greater or equal to
the Config::MaxSpamHits value and if so it's either queued or deleted
based on the spam.action.

Currently, I'm just using a single max spam score globally but I can see
Julian adding it to the SpamAction array so that you can set different
values in the spam.action.conf along with the various actions which
might make more sense because you could then set it to queue if score is
10-15 and delete if 16 or higher.

That is an interesting idea. Explain in more detail how you would expect
it to work and how these options might be configured.
