keyword catch

[Chris Campbell]

Yes, Spamassasin works well.  I just do not know how to write my own string
matches.  Does anyone do this or know how too?

Are you not using SpamAssassin with MailScanner? If not you ought to
consider doing so. You can add a local rule(s) to SpamAssassin that
ranks a particular string match high enough to push those messages
containing the string above a "High Scoring Action" and such messages
can be dropped by MailScanner.
