Here is a patch to implement a spam filter using pattern matching on a
configurable header field, instead of running spamassassin. At our
university, the mail system already runs spamassassin, and set a
header with the current spam score. This mail plugin make it possible
for us to get RT to filter on this header, and throw away mails with
very high spam score, and put in a special RT queue the mails with a
lower spam score.
Please include this in a future version of RT, or let me know what
would need to change for it to be acceptable into RT.

+=head1 NAME
+
+RT::Interface::Email::Filter::SpamHeader - Filter spam based on header tags
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ Set($SpamHeader, "X-UiO-Spam-Score"); # Required
+ Set($SpamLowMatch, "ss+"); # Required
+ Set($SpamLowQueue, "spam"); # Optional
+ Set($SpamHighMatch, "ssssss+"); # Optional
+ Set($SpamHighQueue, undef); # Optional
+ @RT::MailPlugins = ("Filter::SpamHeader", ...); # Required
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This plugin checks to see if an incoming mail is spam by looking at
+the header field given in $SpamHeader, matching it using the regex in
+$SpamLowMatch and $SpamHighMatch. If the regex matches, it is
+considered spam and dropped on the floor or moved to a spam queue if
+the corresponding queue variable is set. Otherwise, it is handled as
+normal.
