Adding items to custom.cf for Spamassassin

[cdirk07]

I am trying to add a custom header to Spamassassin. I am editing the custom.cf file in /etc/mail/spamassassin but it doesn't seem to be working. The line I am adding is:

add_header all Level X-SPAM-_STARS(X)_

We have a current mail filter that adds this and is what our mail server looks for when moving items to junk. Is this something that should work and I am doing it wrong or can this not be done?

You want to add custom header field to all your incoming/outgoing email?
Create mail filter with action object to add your custom header field/attribute.

I have tried it this way, but the macros only add *'s and I need X's. The X's are dynamically added based on the spam score. For example, if the spam score it 5.6 then there would be a header that says X-SPAM-LEVEL: X-SPAM-XXXXXX. Our current mail system is specifically looking for the X-SPAM-XXXXXX and move mail based on the amount of X's.

There is some system macros that might useful for you.
Or maybe adjust your mail system to use/detect another header field?

Sadly the character for the spamstars is not configurable (pmg-smtp-filter uses SpamAssassin as a perl-module, thus not all configuration-options of SpamAssassin have an effect):

Depending on your mail-system - maybe you could add another rule there?

So you are saying that I cannot add add_header all Level X-SPAM-_STARS(X)_ to the custom.cf file?

it won't solve your problem of actually getting a fitting header in all mails

I have tried adding that custom line but nothing ever shows up in the header. Is this expected behavior? A simple, yes it will work or a no it will not work, would be great. This is just a trial run and if we cannot get this to work, we will move on to something else.

sorry if my last answer was not clear - no this will not work
(because PMG uses SpamAssassin as a perl-module, thus not all configuration-options of SpamAssassin have an effect)
