or 'X-MyDada-SpamLevel' and 'S'), since this is not only
configurable in SA, but also it is recommended to modify (so that a
spam message can't try to fool you by including fake SA headers)

Huh, I didn't know that those were, or should be customizable It
seems the opposite would be true, they shouldn't be customized at
all, so mail readers can sort of use them as a standard and use those
headers for their own spam-detecting routines

It wouldn't really be too hard The current code is something like 10
lines Hardly a rewrite ;)

And currently, I'm using the, X-Spam-Status header, which gives the
score as a decimal, but I can fall back to X-Spam-Level if that's not
found;

I agree with you; that's why it's probably best to keep the setting
somewhat high for now, so blatant spam just doesn't go through

What should really happy is that all this mail routing stuff is
actually made into Rules, so you can makeup your own rules based on
all sorts of things, just like mailbox rules in my Mail Reader, or
the Smart Playlists in iTunes, or things like that It would be
cooool Then, you can do whatever you want to do with Spam, or what
happens when mail is sent from someone not on the list, or whatever
That's going to be down the road a bit, I'm afraid, unless someone
sponsors the project;

(by no means this is intended to to stop the current implementation
to be delivered as is in 2 11, which I think will definitively add
a lot of value This is why I labeled this for 2 12)

2 11 will be released pretty soon, but only as an alpha I don't
really have a target date for its stable release I could honestly
wrap up all the changes I've made recently and release a pretty well
developed beta in a week, but I may try to get some more interesting
features in the mix, especially since I have a honest-to-goodness
bugfix branch that can be worked on concurrently
