This actually gave me the best solution for me, I think. Since I want
to keep using Evolution I thought the ***** (or ssss in the MailScanner
recommendation) was of no use. However, I can look for the header with
one * and tell it to stop processing, look for ** and stop processing,
look for *** and stop processing and the next rule would be to dump to
the junk folder. That would allow me to filter scores of 4 or higher
and I can add or remove filters to increase or decrease sensitivity.
I just have to make sure:
X-Spam-Score: ********* doesn't match the rule looking for
X-Spam-Score: *
:)
Thanks Paul
