This is off the top of my head (and the lsearch part was written from memory,
so you might want to check the docs first, but...
We are filtering spam using a system filter that looks something like this:
if $h_subject: contains "show me the money" or
$h_subject: contains "Save and/or Earn a Bundle" or
... snip ...
$message_body contains "this is a one-time mailing" or
$message_body contains "MAJOR CREDIT CARD... GUARANTEED"
then
seen finish
endif
seen finish could be replaced with something like this:
if $local_part is ${lookup{$local_part} lsearch {/etc/mail/wantsspam} {$local_part}} then
finish
else
seen finish
endif
