Kolab 2.2RC2 subject filter

Hello,

I want to filter all mail coming into my Kolab server.
This is to help fight spam. I'm looking to filter and reject
email with 
words that would never be in a valid email's subject.
Any help as to where I can add this "wordlist"
would be apprecioated.

Thanks,

Alex

Here is a howto:
http
://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules
It is not Kolab-specific.  In Kolab, the local.cf file is
located at 
/kolab/etc/spamassassin/local.cf.
For writing rules, I find this other site quite useful as
well:  
http://www.troubleshooters.com/codecorn/littperl/pe
rlreg.htm.
Don't try this at home, as the saying goes.  Use low scores
to test your 
rules.  If you get too enthusiastic--as I have
sometimes--you will get 
false positives.
Before you write new rules, be sure to check the headers to
see what 
rules have fired already.  In my case, I have been able to
deal with a 
lot of spam by bumping up the scores for certain things.

You could also use sieve to achieve this sort of filtering,
but I think 
the SA solution is much better but more difficult to
configure.
