The problem that i have is that my mailman in free from my webhost (hostway.com) and it is an old version. I think that it is 2.0 or 2.1. I could not do what Mark suggested in his first email because my version was too old and didnt have that functionality. i have since deleted the list and will put up a new list in a month or two. The spam was unbelievable. even with this suggestion about the spamassasin, I am not sure that i would be able to do, as i have no idea where to find the "x-spam-flag".
thanks for your help guys...
Louis

The problem with this is that SpamAssassin does not provide a header like: x-spam-flag: yes instead, it provides a header like: x-spam-score: 5.2
I don't know about your Spamassassin, but in mine, I have these defaults:
#X-Spam-Flag: YES add_header spam Flag _YESNOCAPS_
#X-Spam-Level: ************* add_header all Level _STARS(*)_
from in my case /usr/share/spamassassin/10_misc.cf.
The first causes "X-Spam-Flag: YES" to be added to all 'spam' and the second causes "X-Spam-Level: *************" to be added to all messages where the actual number of stars is the integral part of the score. E.g., a message with a score of 1.9 gets "X-Spam-Level: *" and a message with a score of 6.3 gets "X-Spam-Level: ******".
