Markus,

The rule in SA that punishes messages sent by IMail is very old, but apparently still there.

/Roger


Yesterday an *nix admin asked me what Email-client I use.

My answer:
MS Outlook 2003 latest SP and Updates. Why?

His answer:
Our local Spamassassin has catched my previous message as spam.

---- Start SpamAssassin results
5.50 points, 5 required;
*  0.5 -- Received via SMTPD32 server (SMTPD32-n.n)
*  1.1 -- BODY: Message is 40% to 50% HTML
*  0.1 -- BODY: HTML included in message
*  3.7 -- Forged mail pretending to be from MS Outlook
*  0.1 -- Message looks like Outlook, but isn't
---- End of SpamAssassin results



I can't understand not a single of this 5 points.

Point 1:
"Received via SMTPD32 server"  =>  (10% of SA hold weight)
Googling for "SMTPD32" returns most results regarding Imail server and some
other results regarding email marketing companies. Looks like SA is
punishing messages comming from Imail servers.

Point 2 & 3:
My initial message was plain-text.
So what SA has to regret about HTML?

Point 4 & 5:
Looks like SA doesn't know the newest releases of MS Outlook but assigns 3.8
points (76% of the hold weight!!!)

Markus
