Missing headers in mailscanner

[Martin.Hepworth]

Wim

(been on holidays for a bit, and some public holidays as well so excuse
the delay).

Err no, the spam.assassin.prefs.conf file is purely for Spamassassin.
It's MailScanner doing this modification not Spamassassin.You need to
look in the MailScanner.conf for "Spam Subject Text" and "High Scoring
Spam Subject Text".

Also 3.3 seems a little low for spam marking in my experience. What
score have you got for high spam and what do you do with this???
