I am using spamassin and maildrop. But sometimes the mail with if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/) comes in the normal mailbox.

filter on this instead

if (/^X-Spam-Flag: YES/)

Why would it make a difference?

In a most general sense, it won't. You can filter on just about anything that shows up. However, filtering on the specific flag that is meant for spam filtering has some amount of cleanliness and "the right way to do it" send to it. Some day, you may choose to use a differently configured SpamAssassin, or a different piece of software altogether. If you stick with the "standard" way of doing things, you make your life easier in the long run.

I'm right with you, but look again at the two regexes and please tell me why they should have different results.

My comment does seem bit odd.. I think I either misunderstood or misquoted the message. There was the question regarding filtering on subject, and then a suggestion about X-Spam-Flag. I was talking about comparison of the two.

Apologies.
