Hi all,

sorry for this seemingly stupid question but I'm a bit lost as I don't find much about this in the documentation (or looked at the wrong places).

I've got a mail server with spam detection running which forwards emails to sympa (currently at 6.2.60 - Debian bullseye). The headers already contain very clear indications that this email is spam:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=31.96
X-Spam-Level: *********
X-Spamd-Bar: +++++++++
X-Spam: Yes

But how do I change the list config to forward those to the moderator(s)?

I found a few issues on github discussing this (from 2020) but I'm not even sure if I only need to enable "spam_status" in sympa.conf or whether this is just "sugar" on top?

https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/issues/849 talks about custom matches and

"
match([msg->spam_status], /spam/) smtp,dkim,md5,smime -> editorkey,quiet
"

looks like something which ought to work for me, but how do I configure it setting spam if the score is larger than say 4.0?

Sorry for this probably rookie question, I thought I understood sympa better after all these years ;-).

Cheers and thanks a lot in advance

Carsten
