[Mimedefang] Did I ask my question wrong?

Smitty,

You could do the following:

In filter end, change the subject of the email by modifying the loop for if
($hits >= $req) { and adding:
   action_change_header("Subject", "*****SPAM***** $Subject");

Then in your user home dir for the user getting the email, create a
.procmailrc file that says:

:0:
* ^Subject: \*\*\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\*\*\*
SPAM

That will solve your immediate problem as I don't know how you redirect the
email.  It might be simple but I imagine it requires stream_by_recipient.

You can alternately add a header like:

                # X-Spam-Level: *
            # SpamAssassin can show up to 100 *'s
            my ($score);
            if ($hits < 100) {
              $score = "*" x int($hits);
            } else {
              $score = "*" x 100;
            }
            my ($extra);
            unless ($score) {
              $score = " ";
            }
            action_change_header("X-Spam-Level", "$score");

and then sort in procmail based on the number of *'s in X-Spam-Level.
