[Update] Changes in Spam Assassin with cPanel 11

[Matt]

Up until very recently I was able to "re-write" message headers on all e-mail that Spam Assassin flagged as spam. Then when the e-mail comes into Outlook it can be automatically moved to a different folder based on something like ****SPAM**** being found in the subject line.

This feature appears to have been removed as an option from Spam Assassin in all of my reseller accounts. There is text in the "Configure Spam Assassin" applet in Cpanel that says the following but gives no way to set the option.

The new Spam Assassin integrated with the new cPanel automatically marks ***SPAM*** to any email flagged as spam. There is no more local configuration to customise the subject line. It will always be marked as ***SPAM***

But what makes Spam Assassin flag an email as Spam?
When you go into cPanel > Mail > Spam Assassin > SpamAssassin Configuration you will see a field called "required_score" you will need to change this value to whatever level you want to get Spam Assassin to start rewriting subject lines as it used to do in the older version of Spam Assassin/cPanel, If it is already at the level you desire, we suggest saving the settings (submit the page) one time to make sure your settings are stored properly.

Please note that SpamAssassin is not configured for rewrites.

Its probably a bit misleading, it is configured for rewrites, just not user-definable subject lines. You can follow the steps above to make the rewrites work again.
