SPAM Action "warn"

Hi

Am I right that the spam action "warn" only rewrites the Subject into "*SPAM* $Subject"?
Why not adding the header X-Spam-Flag: YES ?

I want that my postifix (amavis-new) behind the the astaro exim skips scanning mails which the astaro antispam system already detected as possible spam and move them directly to the junk folder of a user.

And for this setup I guess the header X-Spam-Flag is better to check for instead checking the subject for a *SPAM* part.

You are correct, per the admin guide/built-in webadmin help:

Warn: No messages will be filtered out. Instead, for incoming messages, a spam flag will be added to the message's header and a spam marker will be added to the message's subject. Outgoing messages will be sent without action.

If you wish to see changes to the behavior, you will need to make a feature request, which can be done at UTM (Formerly ASG) Feature Requests: Hot (2259 ideas).

I did: Add X-Spam-Flag Header with spam action "warn"

And by the way modifying the Subject breaks most DKIM Signatures (most dkim signatures includes the subject), so this is actually a no-go.
(Of course there are probably mostly spam messages, but anyway it isn't a nice solution just add a spam subject prefix instead custom headers. )
