I'm wondering if a spammer included a bogus X-Spam-Status: header in the
spam.  Most how-to examples have people checking to scan emails only if
that header does not exist.  Couldn't a spammer include this and escape
spamassassin unscathed?  Or could the X-Spam-Status: header be rewritten
(if it already exists) with the content of the latest spamassassin scan?

I will admit that I haven't looked through any archives or anything to
see if this has been discussed before.
