[Mailman-Users] Spam detection issue

[Re@lබණ්ඩා™]

Hi Stephen,

Really thanks for the comprehensive answer. In my situation I'm using
following reg expression to catch spam.

X\-Spam\-Flag\: Yes.*

Is it wrong?

I have a separate server for spamassasin and not using an extension like
you mentioned above.

Thanks,
Rumesh
