The WhiteListSubject Plugin

This SpamAssassin plugin module provides eval tests for whitelisting and blacklisting particular strings in the Subject header. The value for whitelist_from or blacklist_from is a pseudo regular expression similar to how whitelist_from, etc works, see the SA configuration documentation for more information.

Code

Add the following to your local.cf file:

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::WhiteListSubject [/path/to/WhiteListSubject.pm]

header SUBJECT_IN_WHITELIST eval:check_subject_in_whitelist()
describe SUBJECT_IN_WHITELIST Subject header is in user's white-list

header SUBJECT_IN_BLACKLIST eval:check_subject_in_blacklist()
describe SUBJECT_IN_BLACKLIST Subject header is in user's black-list

score SUBJECT_IN_WHITELIST -100
score SUBJECT_IN_BLACKLIST 100

Then the following in either the local.cf or user_prefs file:

whitelist_subject [Bug *]
blacklist_subject Make Money Fast

WhiteListSubject.pm:
