Filtering spam

2002-03-06 09:04:06
This is probably trivial but I am unable to get it to work.
I have mail filters running alongside my MTA and among other things, it detects
spam but all it does is add a header to identify the mail as spam.
I get, invariably, headers like

X-Spam: [SPAM] - Products - FREE quote
X-Spam: [SPAM] - Scams - BUSINESS
X-Spam: [SPAM] - Scams - DOLLARS
X-Spam: [SPAM] - Mass Emailer -            bfh
X-Spam: [SPAM] - Sex - sexual performance


How do I filter mail based on this header?

I have tried

:0
^X-Spam:*\[SPAM\]
SPAM


But I fail miserably ;-)

Also, does anyone know how someone using M$ Outlook or OE can utilize
such a header to filter mail. I have checked mail rules but I don't see
such flexibility. I am sorry this part is quite OT but I was hoping
to tap on the expertise available in this list.
