[TriLUG] spamassassin config

[Joel Ebel]

In older versions of spamassassin, if you want the body modified you 
need to unset report_header.  Otherwise the report will be in the 
header.  The UPGRADE file for the 3.0 version has some more to day, but 
unfortunately I haven't used 3.0 yet, so I can't tell you any more than 
this says:

- The default mode of tagging (which used to be ***SPAM*** in the subject
   line) no longer takes place.  Instead the message is rewritten. If an
   incoming message is tagged as spam, instead of modifying the original
   message, SpamAssassin will create a new report message and attach the
   original message as a message/rfc822 MIME part (ensuring the original
   message is completely preserved and easier to recover).  If you do not
   want to modify the body of incoming spam, use the "report_safe" option.
   The "report_header" and "defang_mime" options have been removed as a
   result.
