That sounds pretty cool Jules. Would these rules take priority over the SA rules ? So that based on a particular rule you could say quarantine straight away without any further processing ?

How about this instead?

SpamAssassin Rule Actions = rulename=>action, rulename=>action, ....

the "rulename"s are the names of individual SpamAssassin rules, and the 
"action"s are list those in "Spam Actions". To specify multiple actions 
for a rule, you specify the rulename several times, with one action for 
each. Expressions with SpamAssassin rules are done with SpamAssassin 
meta-rules. If the rule hits, the action is taken.

I'll write a few examples of meta-rules so you can see how to write them 
in spam.assassin.rules.conf or wherever they need to go. Mr Kettler, can 
you correct me on this please?

Does this sound more useful than the previous suggestions?

Jules.
