What can do I do please?
You need to check your logs to see why the message is marked as spam. Running amavisd at log level 2 or higher ($log_level = 2; in amavisd.conf) will likely give you enough information to see why the message is rejected. Here's some wild guesses you can track down: - SpamAssassin Auto WhiteList "AWL" or bayes features can automatically learn mail as spam. You can try temporarily disabling AWL and bayes by adding the following to your spamassassin /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf use_bayes 0 use_auto_whitelist 0 see http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/BasicConfiguration - amavisd-new white/black lists? This isn't an automated feature, but something you set in amavisd.conf or associated SQL tables. White/black list action is noted in the log. >-------------------------------- >The notification message is as follows: The notification message isn't particularly helpful in tracking down problems.
