Subject: [Exim] breaking out of system filter
I have several subject and message filters on my system (in a system filter)
in an attempt to block spam and UCE and I actually forward it to my internal
spam account to peruse.

Sometimes I go "oops" I need to let that one pass. I used to resend them
thru a pipe to: | exim -f FROM TO
but they always had a Sender: line from my SPAM account.

I have a line in my system filter which lets Sender: from spam pass thru.

I thought I would try letting my SPAM account be a "trusted" user to
prevent the "spam" name from showing up in the delivered message, but I
can't figure out now how to have my system filter realize that it is
allowed to send the offending email, because I have no header records
to pick up on. (does this make sense?)

Is there anything I can do within the system filter to let these messages
pass?
