The total score of the filters adds up to 6.2 points, which is over their 
threshold of 6.0

You get 1 point for having an extraneous content-type header
You get 1.4 points because you have some inline GIF in the mail you are sending 
out (e.g. a logo or something). There's lots of JPG/GIF based spam (where the 
spam message is text in an image - to get around spam filters that look for 
specific types of text)
You get another 1.8 points because your email is Quoted-Printable but doesn't 
wrap at 76 characters.

Those seem to be the main contributors to your score.

Cheers
Ken

Subject: reading SpamAssassin results

Hi All

Wonder if any one can help

A remote site is claiming that all mail that we send to them is being 
classified as SPAM

They have sent me these SpamAssassin headers as an example but I can't find any 
tutorials on what they mean:

X-Spam-Score: 6.2 (++++++)
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Report: 6.2/6.0
 ---- Start SpamAssassin results
 *  1.0 EXTRA_MPART_TYPE Header has extraneous Content-type:...type= entry
 *  0.4 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
 *  1.8 MIME_QP_LONG_LINE RAW: Quoted-printable line longer than 76 chars
 *  1.4 SARE_GIF_ATTACH FULL: Email has a inline gif
 *  0.1 RDNS_NONE Delivered to trusted network by a host with no rDNS
 *  1.5 MY_CID_AND_ARIAL2 SARE CID and Arial2
 ---- End SpamAssassin results

Anybody able to point me to a list of what these entries mean or decode what 
the problem may be so that I know where to start looking

Thanks

Laurence
