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 ? :(

Hi,

rewrite_header Subject

Will turn off the rewrite (ie setting it to nothing.)

Regards,

Rick
