Thank you for the explanation. I actually wrote the code that generates the
Message-ID. Do you happen to have a link to documentation that would show
the proper format for the Message-ID

Kevin,
Microsoft E-mail clients have a nasty habit of excluding the To when
there are only CC or BCC recipients. You will almost exclusively see
this on some sort of E-mail blast from Exchange servers. The proper
(RFC compliant) way to construct the headers when no To address is
specified
Hi Kevin,
This email is more our/your FYI than much an answer to your question:
We've also noticed this on other tests of Declude that are built in; but not
much on BADHEADERS. Decludes BADHEADERS test is a good test and accurate in
our opinion; but we have lowered the score on this test as

You are using both Sniffer and the Invariant Systems URI tests together?

I've been laying low on this one for a while, but BADHEADERS hits for not
having a proper To address is commonly producing false positives on my
system with personal E-mail, some of which will cause the messages to be

I'm using i20 currently. Note that IE and probably Exchange as well,

Very much appreciated. Back when I did a review of hits for this, I
think it was over 95% FP's. Even if that isn't accurate, it's
problematic enough to allow us to turn it off.
Thanks,

BADHEADERS caught the following E-mail for the Message ID. I'm not sure
if this is an RFC issue or not though, thinking that it might be due to
the fact that the ID starts with a period, or maybe because it includes a
comma??? Could you clarify that this is definitely a valid BADHEADERS hit?
Hi,
Do you know also how to fix too that with ASPMAil ?
Thanks

Upgrading ASPMail to the latest version should take care of the problem.

You need to modify something on the mail client (the program sending the

That one is caused by a missing To: header.

I do it by a weight system. Thee are a few of the tests that really
have less value in catching legitimate spam. For instance if you give
a heavy weight to noabuse, you will not receive any mail from Microsoft
as they do not want the emails telling them they are screwing up so
therefore they do
So far I've been very happy with JunkMail. I'm only running a few tests and
it's catching a lot of spam and porn. However, I'm noticing the occasional

Can anyone shed any light on exactly what the BADHEADERS test checks for?
It checks for E-mail headers that are broken (non-RFC-compliant). There
are a number of different things that it looks for.

No.
No legitimate mail should ever fail the BADHEADERS test. A legitimate mail
