I get the impression that when I forward a message (headers
expanded) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it sets my Baysian filter up, and anything it
sees that looks like this message gets a spam rating based on its
similarity to the forwarded message. Do repeated messages which fail the
test add to the negative effect on subsequent similar messages?
Now, because efn users are way too human, they're fully capable of
mistaking somebody's legitimate email with a "Subj: Hi" with spam, sight
unseen, for some reason (like maybe seeing way too many spams with a
"Subj: Hi" but instead of an introduction to someone or something of
interest, an illustrated discussion of attribute enhancement. Graphic
illustration, abbreviated discussion.).
So the opposite of spam is tofu, thus the counter-spell to a
false spam is to send it, headers expanded, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This should
take the bad luck off, but you may need to repeat, and repeat again and
again as necessary.
Given the amount of spam coming at us, and how automated I can get
about forwarding spam, I'm surprised I notice as few false positives as I
do for spam from SpamAssasin and what I'm beginning to regard as my
Baysian filter. My conjecture is a similar process for you, so forward the
Dean stuff to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as you would spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
