Detecting forwarded spam

> Is there a way for MailScanner to detect if a forwarded message has already been detected as spam by another system, therefore not needing to run it's own spam check?

> We have a large number of users who used to use a separate email provider and they now just have that email forwarded to their account here.    Their old system detects spam and creates a header entry like:
> X-Spam-Report: IsSpam=yes
> 
> Right now our system just ignores that, so I was wondering if I can get our Mailscanner to take this into account and not bother with spamassassin checks if it sees this in the header?     I'm sure I could make a spamassassin rule to assign points if it saw this, but the whole point is to not have to get spamassassin involved.

You could write a custom function to do this, and maybe you could get Julian
to write it for you for some $$$ (money, deniro, cash, mammon, greenbacks,
script, coinage, euros, pounds sterling, etc...).
