That is a good thing, and led me to the idea of adding a "Marker"
header first and then the local Spamassassin Headers. The system
filter could then remove all found Spamassassin Headers found below
the marker - but that doesn't work as the system filter can only
remove _all_ headers of a given name. Too bad.

So I see correctly that adding X-Localhost-somerandom-Spam: headers in
th ACL and then having

headers_add = X-Spam: $h_x-localhost-somerandom-spam
headers_remove = x-localhost-somerandom-spam

in the system filter is the closest I can get to removing all foreign
Spamassassin headers, at the risk of somebody externally forging
x-localhost-somerandom-spam: and misguiding the filters which might be
applied later in transmission.

Or is there an easier way that doesn't have these drawbacks?
