To change the subject (or another header), you need a system filter. See

Frequent enough, but I personally find this a bad idea. Add another
header (such as X-Spam-Status) and let the user filter based on that
header, instead of clobbering the subject.

However, this is a very simplistic approach to spam that may detect some
spam, but will let go lots of it undetected. You should take a look at
spamassassin or another similar product.

And please do not hijack threads, that is, do not reply to an existing
message in order to start a new topic.
