Using Header filters
Hi,
I wonder if it is possible using the "Header filters" option to filter for a specific word to push the message to Moderation?

You can use Header filters to hold for moderation any messages that have
a header matching a pattern. The pattern match is unanchored and case
insensitive so for example to hold for moderation any message which
contains the string word or Word, etc. anywhere in the Subject: you
would create a Header Filter with Header = subject, Pattern = word and
Action = Hold for moderation.
If you want to match only the word word and not things like foreword
and wordless, you'd use a pattern like (^|\W)word(\W|$). See
<https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rules/docs/header-matching.html#list-specific-header-matching>
and <https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html>.

I meant to add you can only match against headers including sub-part headers in multipart messages. You can't match against the message body.
You could use something like spamassassin in the mta with a rule to match against the message body and then use header filters in Mailman to look for that rule in the X-Spam-Status header.
