The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Dan Pritts <address@concealed>]

You need to create a scenario file for spam_status.your_spam_header_here, and 
then in sympa.conf set the spam_status config line to match 
your_spam_header_here.

Careful on your regular expression.  If you are using spamassassin (possibly 
others), it uses the word baYES in the x-spam-status header.  So everything 
matches "yes".  You see what I did below.  I submitted a bug on this, David 
said he would change the default spam_status config file to have a warning 
about this.  

Here is what I have:

/etc/sympa@lists1% ls -l scenari/spam_status.x-spam-status 
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 344 Aug 31  2010 scenari/spam_status.x-spam-status

/etc/sympa@lists1% cat scenari/spam_status.x-spam-status
title.gettext test x-spam-status  header

match([header->X-Spam-Status],/yes,/)                  smtp,dkim,smime,md5  
-> spam
true()                                         smtp,dkim,md5,smime   -> ham

/etc/sympa@lists1% grep spam_status *
sympa.conf:spam_status  x-spam-status
