I use sendmail with clam for av and spamassasin. You should also have
mailscanner installed as well.
You need to make setting changes in your MailScanner.conf file located in
/usr/local/etc/MailScanner/
In this file are setting for how spam is dealt with.
Look for the setting:
High Scoring Spam Actions =
You will probably want to set that to delete.
Also go through all the setting in this file.
Once you have mailscanner running you should see subjects changed and also
a footer added to each email.
