I have an e-mail getting through the system that is coming from different addresses but has the same subject matter. Has anyone run into this and created a rule or made a change to their conf file? Trying to figure out the best way to combat this, I was thinking that scan.messages.rules file would be the place for it but it appears that it focuses more on the to from instead of subject.

You need to learn to write your own SA rules:

You'd do this in SA. See rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ and
/usr/share/spamassassin for some examples

Thank you,

I found that website to be very helpful in how to write my own rules, I will take a look at it and try it out and see if that will take care of this issue.
