Hey Ken,
I changed the subject o reflect what you were trying to do. To
answer your first question: Yes, that can be done with SpamAssassin. I
would just put something similar to:
rawbody MY_TRENDTEST /Trend SMEX Content Filter has detected sensitive
content/
describe MY_TRENDTEST Found something Trend thought was spam
score MY_TRENDTEST 20
Into my sa-mimedefang.cf file. Headers may be more to your liking for the
test.
As for consensus, I think that most people agree that SOMEONE
should be notified in the case of non-delivery. The only exception are
viruses that forge the from address. I would recommend redirecting the bad
stuff to a spam mailbox so that a human can review it or delete it at their
leisure, but then again, I'm not at a high volume site.
Hope that helps,
Stefano
