[Mailman-Users] spam rule not stopping

What is the action for this rule?

With default spamassassin settings (which uses an asterisk (*), not an
x), I would use the following regexp (they are case insensitive).

^x-spam-level: \*\*\*\*

to match any X-Spam-Level: header that has 4 or more asterisks. See
<http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html>.

Not sure this got to the list...
Apologies if it did.

Apparently it doesn't - I still get highly classed spam mail on the list.
(X-Spam-Level is over 7)

Are you using method 2) of
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.023.htp>,
(i.e. the SpamAssassin.py handler as described at
<http://www.jamesh.id.au/articles/mailman-spamassassin/>)?

If so, and if you have installed it as described, you can't use
header_filter_rules to catch spamassassin flagged messages because the
documentation says to put

GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin')

in mm_cfg.py which processes the message through spamassassin after
header_filter_rules have been processed. If you want to apply
header_filter_rules to the spamassassin processed message, you need

GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(0, 'SpamAssassin')

instead.
