It's Trash Finder (I recognize the filtering reason). I think it is quite
unlikely that this is the problem. as TF's Spam log entries have not changed
in years. Moreover, I was quite careful to match the column layout so that
readers like Spameye wouldn't break. I also know that a number of users use
TF with the AVP message viewer, so unless this was broken by a new version
of AVP, this isn't the problem.

Huh? You have to use Antibanner to filter in the body; SCSMFilter only
filters in the message headers. Besides, TF Classic also decodes encoded
text, compresses out blanks, and normalizes case: it's nowhere near a pure
text filter. (And, of course, TF Pro also filters on domains, IPs, does SPF
checks, and much more).
In any case, running a mail server without a good spam filter is foolhardy,
and SCSMFilter alone won't cut it. If he's using TF, he probably needs it.
