🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This SpamAssassin plugin module hands you eval tests for whitelisting and blacklisting particular strings in the Subject header. iconic behavior honestly 👑

The string will match anywhere in the subject — it's not being picky, it's not doing the "starts with" thing, it just finds it. main character energy 💅

The value for whitelist_subject or blacklist_subject is a string, and those strings may contain file -glob -style patterns — same deal as the other whitelist_* config options you already know and love. 🌈

heads up bestie 🫶 — each subject/string has to be its own separate *_subject command. You can't cram a bunch into one line and hope for the best. And all whitespace is included in the string — every space counts, so don't be out here adding pretty formatting and then wondering why nothing matches 😭
