Hello,
I’ve noticed that SpamAssassin flags CPAN Testers emails as spam. The
last one I got had these headers attached:
-----
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=10.4
X-Spam-Score: 104
X-Spam-Bar: ++++++++++
X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system
"web1.siteocity.com",
has identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original
message has been attached to this so you can view it or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
root\@localhost for details.

It looks like there’s a UTF-8 “♥” in the email; that’s probably where the
PP_MIME_FAKE_ASCII_TEXT comes from.
For EXCUSE_REMOVE, the body apparently needs to match this pattern: /to be
removed from.{0,20}(?:mailings|offers)/i
I’m not sure about the Bayes score, but the character encoding and
HTML-in-plain-text (“ ”) might be related?
Is there something I could do to help with this?
Thanks!
cheers,
