This webpage: https://www.sympa.org/manual/antispam#an_external_spam_filter_is_needed suggests a Sympa rule that would do what you want.

Alternatively you could configure your MTA
(e.g. exim, postfix etc) to reject messages based on this header. With exim this would be an "acl_smtp_data" rule.

Hi

I'm using Google's MX for one of our domains, which adds a spam header
before forwarding the messages to Sympa. In my robot.conf I have this:

spam_status x-gm-spam

This causes messages to not be distributed (which is what we want),
but instead they are queued for moderation.

How can I configure things so that they get dropped (i.e. not clog up
the moderation queue)?

FYI we run Sympa 6.2.8.


Many thanks!
