[gentoo-server] amavisd-new

[Wendall Cada]

Lately it feels as though amavisd-new has been moving in the direction
of just being a handler for AV scanning. Anyhow, there are many
annoyances in the current version. Here is a copy paste from the forums
for a resolution with the latest stable no longer adding spam scoring in
the headers. I'm hoping this will help a few of you on the list that
currently use the postfix/amavisd spam filter setup.

I worked with the author of amavisd and found that there is NO WAY to
make amavisd add X-Spam-* headers to every message and still have a
[possible-spam] level with X-Spam-Status still set to NO without a
modification to the code. Below is the modification I made that allows
me to check mail in this fashion:

*From 0 - 3.5 X-Spam* added, X-Spam-Status: NO, subject unchanged
*From 3.5-5.0 X-Spam* added, X-Spam-Status: NO, subject shows
[possible-spam]
*From 5.0-6.0 X-Spam* added, X-Spam-Status: YES subject: **spam**
(procmail moves to Spam
folder)
*From 6.0-8.01 X-Spam* added, X-Spam-Status: YES subject
**blatant-spam** (procmail moves
to Spam folder)
* From 8.01+ Spam is killed.

The modification: in sub add_forwarding_header_edits_per_recip
(2.6.1):
