Relay Country

No, I wouldn't want to modify the subject.

All that I was wanting was to have maia/spamassassin write
the country code in the message headers, so that when
message tokens are added to the bayes database, the relay
countries are included there.

As far as giving different scores for different relay
countries, I don't think we're very interested in that at
this point.


Thanks for your help.

In effect, yes sir.  If you just want the header included in
your
overall set of spam scores for a particular message you
could always set
the score to a low value.  In re-reading your post perhaps I
am
confusing myself as to what you wish to do.  The
aforementioned approach
will add the RELAY_COUNTRY score into your message header
information. 
Are you trying to add this to the message subject line in
analogy to the
way in which  *****SPAM***** markers added by amavisd-new?
