We rewrite the subject line of messages detected as spam for users who opt
out of having these rejected at SMTP time.

This is done by adding a temporary header in the relevant ACL

add_header = X-New-Subject:{SPAM?} $h_subject

and replacing in the system filter
   if first_delivery then
     if $h_X-New-Subject: is not ""
     then
        headers remove Subject
        headers add "Subject:$rh_X-New-Subject:"
        headers remove X-New-Subject
     endif
   endif
