Thanks, Ingo
but I have probably misunderstood you.

in my perl script I added an output at the end if the condition is met:

if ($s1 eq $s2)
{
    print "X-IS-SPAM: SPAM\n$ARGV[0]";
}

but instead of changing the message, the message disappears from kmail totally
I guess it is being deleted...

what am I doing wrong?

thanks again for your help,
YB.
