By default, all the additional configurations are optional. If you need  
to overwrite something, simply create the appropriate configuration  
file/directory when appropriate.

The proper file name is 'alt.dev.szmail.SZMail$ListFilter.properties'.  
No quotes. No space. The dollar sign ($) is a Java artifact.

The filters are logged to the console when first loaded.

I don't think so. The low level format of the file is documented here:

Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)

Anything which appears in 'SpamHeader.properties' is ignored altogether  
by the application. If you run the app in debug mode you should see  
some logs showing which Message-Id was ignore as well as which header  
triggered the rejection.
