Are you sure that the subject rewriting is occurring at your server? I've seen similar problems when the sending mail server marked it as spam on the way out. Your amavis hits clearly show a different score.

List - I did quite a bit of searching, but didn't find anything relevant. Basically I have a user on a mailing list that is getting an email which they do receive but it's marked as spam in the subject. I've placed the sender in the manual whitelist (local.cf), but it doesn't work, it still rewrites the subject. Below I've included relevant info, but have change the names and locations to protect the innocent. You can see it gets a score of 5.1/5.0 despite the hits being -98.509. The user is still getting the email, so functionally it's not a 'problem', but I don't understand why it's doing this and where it's catching it. TIA for taking a look.
