<h3><a name="SECTION002274000000000000000">
2.7.4 Spam Filters</a>
</h3>

<p>
This section provides some adjuncts to spam fighting tools; it
doesn't replace dedicated anti-spam tools such as SpamAssassin or
SpamBayes.

<p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>bounce_matching_headers</strong></dt>
<dd>This variable contains header regular expressions, one per line,
    and if any of a message's headers matches one of these patterns,
    it will be held for moderation.  The format is a colon separated
    header and value, where the header is case insensitive and the
    value is any valid Python regular expression.  Lines that start
    with # are ignored.

<p>
This variable can be used to catch known spammers by writing
    regexps that match against <span class="mailheader">To:</span> or <span class="mailheader">Cc:</span>
    lines, or known-bad <span class="mailheader">Message-ID:</span>s.  Perhaps more useful
    though are patterns that match headers added by spam detection
    tools higher up in the tool chain.  For example, you might
    configure SpamAssassin to add an <span class="mailheader">X-Spam-Score:</span> header
    with between zero and 5 stars depending on the spam score.  Then
    you can add a line to this variable like:

<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
    X-Spam-Score: [*]{3,5}
</pre></div>

<p>
This line will match from 3 to 5 stars in the value of this
    field.
