Syntax for subject checking

Julian,

Could this be used to set specific actions for email with certain Bayes
scores?  Currently, I'm manually filtering and deleting all mail that
scores Bayes_90 and Bayes_99 (I almost never get a false positive and I
don't need to keep these messages to train Bayes).

It would be great if there were a way to have MailScanner handle these
messages differently.  I could bump up the SpamAssassin score and have
MailScanner treat these messages as high scoring spam, but this wouldn't
really accomplish the same thing as not all high scoring spam is
Bayes_90 or 99.

By the way, I've upgraded to 4.23-11 and so far everything is working
great!

Ryan

You may be able to do this with MCP. This is still in development but
take
