Perhaps there is some issue with the character set. Those characters
must be entered as equivalent to us-ascii and must not be translated
by your web server.

The prefixing of the subject with *****SPAM***** and the addition of
the X-Spam-Status: and X-Spam-Flag: headers is done by Spamassassin
(not a part of Mailman). I don't know about the X-SZTE-Spam-Status:
header. The easiest thing is to filter on the "X-Spam-Flag: YES"
header as that will be present only in "spam" and doesn't need special
characters. Just put

X-Spam-Flag: YES

in bounce_matching_headers, or if you want to use header_filter_rules,
you could just put

X-Spam-Flag:

as the rule since the header is only present in 'spam' and set the
action to Hold for testing, and if you are confident it is working,
you can set the action to Discard.
