HI All,

I was trying to create a rule in PMG in which would like to send email to spam/junk folder based upon their spam score.

Please help me to create this rule
 
what do you mean spam/junk folder? in the mail client? that would be a configuration of your server that handles the mailboxes (or the mail client itself), not pmg.
if you mean the spam quarantine, just create a rule with a what object that has the desired spamscore and a 'quarantine' action
 
Find the header your destination mailserver/client uses to identify spam prior to moving it to a junk mail folder.
In PMG create/modify existing rule to add that header at the desired spam level.
I changed the existing quarantine rule to trigger at spam level 5 and used another rule to add the necessary header at spam level 3.
In my case, the downstream mail server looks for 'X-Spam-Status: Yes'. So that's the header my rule inserts:
Code:
Action: Header attribute, field: X-Spam-Status, Value: Yes
What: Spam Filter Level 3
If you wish to continuie using quarantine for higher spam scores, as I do, ensure that rule has the higher priority.

Thank you very much keeka and dcsapak. The issue has been fixed. I have created the rules and mails with spam score 3 are landing into junk

@dcsapak I have few questions, can you please answer those ?

How to create a custom rules using GUI ?
I have created a custom rule for testing if "subject: test" then increase the spam score to 2 and land emails in junk mail. But i have created this rule in /etc/mail/spamassian/custom.cf then it has worked fine

header LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_SUBJECT Subject =~ /\btest\b/i
score LOCAL_DEMONSTRATION_SUBJECT 5

Is there any possible to create custom rules from GUI ?

Example:- We want to block display spoofing emails from spammmers

What additional support do you provide for commercial subscription ? Please share the complete details

no that's currently not possible, and in most cases it's not necessary
