[Rspamd-Users] How to reject email subject/body message?

Hi,

I'm more or less familiar with mail server, and, overall, how it works. 
I do not consider myself a guru tho, haha. I'm pretty much hosting a 
mailbox for myself only at this point; everything was configured by me 
from scratch a long time ago. I used to have just Postfix as mta using 
built-in basic checks and rbls to reject spam. I've recently started 
noticing legitimate emails getting rejected, so I'm experimenting with 
this now.
I didn't use SpamAssassin or any other similar solution in the past. 
Pretty much Rspamd is the first one I've decided to try.

What I'm expecting to achieve is the following:
  - Rspamd renders a message, and based on some key patterns or text like 
"you won million dollar" rejects the email.

I know it's inefficient, but a server with a "single" mailbox works just 
fine for me. Currently, most of the spam Rspamd can handle, but I'm 
still getting some of it, even tho I did configure Bayes training with 
Dovecot/Sieve.

Best
