So are you saying that the sender of the message is not typing "DSN" as the first 3 characters in the subject field but instead it is being inserted by some automatic mechanism along the way?
Correct. While it's possible that the user is doing it, it's unlikely that they are.
Specifically I've noticed that almost every message I receive from Kevin Bilbee has DSN in the subject. Is
my system adding that? Is his system adding that? Or is the Declude
JunkMail list adding that?
X-Declude-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [142.179.108.44]
http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/lookup.php?domain=idig.net shows that idig.net is listed is the DSN spam database.
It seems that the information is outdated, so if someone from idig.net contacts [EMAIL PROTECTED], they can be removed.
What is the syntax for the alias spamdomains in the latest beta update?
The file for the SPAMDOMAINS test can either have 1 entry on a line ("example.com"), which would mean that if an E-mail has a return address with "example.com" in it, then the reverse DNS entry must have "example.com" in it as well, or it can have 2 entries ("example.com example.net"), in which case any E-mail with "example.com" in the return address must have *either* "example.com" or "example.net" in the reverse DNS entry.
