Exim Configuration Manager > Custom Filter. Not Working

DigitalComunic
Hi all. I have an issue with the custom filter functionality. I need to configure some custom filters and I need that these filters not be excluded in futures cpanel updates, then I followed the instrucitions to create custom filter rules here: How to Customize the Exim System Filter File - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation I created a file called spamsubject at "/usr/local/cpanel/etc/exim/sysfilter/options/" Then, in the "WHM > Exim Configuration Manager > Basic Editor > Filters tab" I see at the bottom the "Custom Filter: subjectspam [?] ON (default)". This little code bellow is working well when I insert directly at "/etc/antivirus.exim", I tested and the filter works fine, but when I put in the "/usr/local/cpanel/etc/exim/sysfilter/options/subjectspam", the filter don't works. I already restart exim all the times. What could be the problem? The server is WHM 54.0 (build 21), is this version working well with exim custom filters?
# test if $header_subject: contains "viagra" then fail text "Rejected by spam words at subject" seen finish endif
Thanks in advance by any help.

    Hello :) Could you post the output from /var/log/exim_mainlog for the test message you sent after enabling this system filter rule? EX:
    exigrep user@test /var/log/exim_mainlog
    Was this test email sent from a remote mail server? Thank you.

    Hello, I believe the issue is with your filter syntax, as I was unable to reproduce the issue on a test system. Please try updating your custom filter rule to an entry such as this:
    # test if $header_subject: contains "viagra" then fail text "Rejected by spam words at subject" endif
    Thank you.
