Hi All,
Just setting up SA 3.0.2 on a test server (to work towards upgrading our main server that runs 2.64) and have discovered a change that might seem innocent to the designers, but which is a PITA for us.
According to UPGRADE:
- The "rewrite_subject" and "subject_tag" configuration options were deprecated and are now removed. Instead, using "rewrite_header Subject [your desired setting]". e.g.
rewrite_subject 1
subject_tag ****SPAM(_SCORE_)****becomes
rewrite_header Subject ****SPAM(_SCORE_)****
What was the logic behind this unnecessary change ?
In our case we have a global subject_tag setting in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf but the per user .prefs files contain rewrite_subject 1 (or 0) depending on what the user selects through a web gui. (As one of a limited set of options they are allowed to configure)
Now with 3.0, as far as I can see there is no longer a way to configure the actual subject string globally in the local.cf, but allow it to be turned on and off from a per user .prefs file ? Or have I missed something ? :(
Looks like I'll have no choice but to remove the option from the web gui altogether, as having the actual subject string in every single .prefs file doesn't make changing it in future very practical...
Regards, Simon
