I created 2 custom header to filter spam email. One is working and one is not working. How can I diagnose the possible problem?

Working header rules 
X-Rejection-Reason   Weight 50  

Non working header rules
X-ESVA-Status: spam    Weight 50

My email header with the following info will not filter by second rules (X-ESVA-Status: spam)

X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Windows Mail 6.0.6002.18005
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18005
X-MailScanner-ID: 2DD8527E33.69265
X-MailScanner: No Virus
X-ESVA-Status: spam
X-ESVA-SpamScore: 4
X-SmarterMail-Spam: SPF_Neutral, SpamAssassin 9.4 [raw: 4.7], DK_None
X-SmarterMail-TotalSpamWeight: 9

If you have it set up like this:

Header:X-ESVA-Status
Value: spam
Weight: 50

Does that work?

Yup. It work.. the ":" is the one cause problem. I try your suggestion method before but with ":" add in after the Status. After remove the ":", it work now.

Thanks man...

No problem.

First time I messed with Custom Headers, I did the same thing.
