How to reset spam_subject_tag using serveradmin?

I use serveradmin to set a tag for the subject line of spam emails, by the command:


sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:spam_subject_tag = "***SPAM*** "


In order that I could filter automatically. I no longer need to do this, so wish to reset the spam subject tag. However, I can't find the appropriate value for the key. Neither a double quoted space or even two double quotes works. What I want to do is reset the value of the key to its original value of ""


Can someone let me know the command in order to do this?

I don't use serveradmin for these settings.. you have more options/flexibility editing the conf file directly.

/Library/Server/Mail/Config/amavisd/amavisd.conf


$sa_spam_subject_tag = undef; # disables subject tag


Lots of other goodies to adjust here.. one horrible default:

Search 'destiny', if you see D_BOUNCE, change to D_DISCARD.


after editing, restart amavisd with:

sudo launchctl stop org.amavis.amavisd
