Setting Output Headers and Custom Template Tags

If you want to add custom headers in the rewritten mail message, the Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus::set_tag() API is the way to do it.

You can also get the value of a tag using the Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus::get_tag() API from inside a plugin, although note that some of the tags will not be filled in until after the scan completes, and may not be available.

In SpamAssassin 3.1.0 onwards, you can use C<set_tag> and provide a subroutine reference, like so:

  my $data = "hello world";
  $permsgstatusobject->set_tag ("MYTAG", sub {
        return $data;
      });
