is it possible to filter spam words in the body of the email?

Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

for example I would like to send to quarantine when you have a word to unsubscribe or click here
 
yes it is possible, though we usually discourage it! Filtering on a simple word leads to many false positives in our experience.

Better try to check that your PMG configuration is really working well - and that you're not running into any ratelimits of RBLs (check the mail.log for URIBL_BLOCKED spamassassin hits).

if you really want to block certain words you need to create a custom spamassassin configuration for that - https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#_custom_spamassassin_configuration

and a fitting body rule - see https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules (which currently seems down - but a google search for writing spamassassin rules should get you going)

hope this helps!
 
I understand perfectly

many spam advertising emails are still going on,
could you send, or post a few headers for a help?

or even my mail.log?
 
I'm pretty sure that you need to configure a recursive DNS server only for PMG - then the spam detection should become much better!

Companion, did you manage to block the emails that you indicate ??
