Subject: [exim] How to teach spamassassin
Hello,

SpamAssassin is currently working with out exim config, but the trouble is
that even with a low threshold, some spam still gets through.

Also, given that spam rarely comes from the same email address twice,
blocking email addresses could become a full-time job.

I'd therefore like to either be able to forward spam messages to
spamassassin and say "look, this is spam, learn from it", or I'd like to
create a blacklist of words.

For example, we are a research organization and some words are therefore
*never* going to appear in legitimate emails, and while the appearance of a
particular word alone is not enough to trigger the spam filter, the message
*is* actually spam.

Is there a way of saying, regardless of the spam score, if this word appears
in the email, treat it as spam anyway?

Thanks in advance,
Hobbs.
