John Hardin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from John Hardin <[email protected]> --- If you won't provide any details about what happens when it misbehaves how are we supposed to fix it? Please note, there are no specific-email-address blacklists provided in the base SpamAssassin install. If your specific email address is being rejected, then it's likely due to local explicit blacklists created by individual admins, about which we can do nothing. Otherwise, and most likely, it's some set of rules that are consistently hitting on those emails. In either case *provide us examples*, because we genuinely do want to minimize SA's propensity for false positives. If you have the post-processing headers from an email of yours that was rejected because SA scored it as spammy, please provide those headers in an email to the SA users list so that we have some chance of figuring out the cause. A bounce from an SMTP-time reject is likely not useful because it likely doesn't include any of the specific rules that hit. For forum messages being rejected, it may be something that your forum software is doing to the email messages it sends that makes them look spammy. You did not tell us *what* forum this is; I'm going to *guess* you're referring to http://forums.partedmagic.com and I am going to register so that maybe I can see what is happening. If I've guessed wrong please tell us *which* forum you are referring to. Throwing a snit may make you feel better but it won't get the problem solved, and it reflects much more on _your_ professionalism than on ours. Also: "I have reported this several times over the past 6 years" - where? Neither your name nor your email address nor "parted" in this context appear anywhere in the mailing list archives or the SA bugzilla. As far as I can tell this is the first report of this problem. ...time passes... Okay, the forum confirmation mail just came through. Here are the only two rule hits that add anything to the score: * 2.4 FORGED_YAHOO_RCVD 'From' yahoo.com does not match 'Received' headers * 2.6 RDNS_DYNAMIC Delivered to internal network by host with * dynamic-looking rDNS Both of these are due to questionable practices on your part, and that you can probably fix very easily. (1) The email from the forum does NOT pass through Yahoo's mail servers at any point. Since you already set Reply-To and Sender headers, I suggest that you change the From: to something that is not in the Yahoo domain - perhaps "[email protected]" as is being used for the HELO, or "[email protected]". (2) The rDNS for your server looks suspicious (from a spam point of view): Received: from partedmagic.com (client-208-92-232-31.sevenl.net [208.92.232.31] (may be forged)) by ga.impsec.org (8.13.7/8.13.7) with ESMTP id qB8KSxSD016553 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO) for <[email protected]>; Sat, 8 Dec 2012 12:29:03 -0800 If you're truly sending this from a dynamic IP there's little we can do about it, that's going to score some spamminess points. If it's a static IP, contact your ISP and see if they can get the rDNS set to something that doesn't look dynamic; ideally forward and reverse DNS should match, and would be something from the partedmagic.com domain to match the HELO and (changed) From address. Basically, you've configured your forum to look like a spambot. I have added the confirmation email to my ham corpus, perhaps it will cause the rescorer to reduce the points assigned to those rules. No guarantees, though, unless perhaps other masscheck contributors also do what I have just done. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
