Hello all,

Our spam system which is qmailtoaster based, running on FC5 is working
really well.  However we have just added a new domain to it, and one of the
users is getting a large amount of untagged spam.  At least for our system
it is a large amount.  Roughly 10 to 15% of the spam is coming through
untagged. 

I asked him to forward me some of them for review so I could check the
headers and see what the system was doing.  First strange thing was that
mailing directly to me, detected them as spam correctly.  When I check the
headers of the forwarded (as attachments) mail, they are incorrect.

Below is on of the mails "headers", it seems to be text from the body of the
mail. Most of the missed ones are like this.

It starts and ends exactly as above.  I've not seen this on our system
before. The only thing I can think is they have an exchange server which
possibly is doing something to the headers, but this doesn't explain why
spamassassin isn't tagging these very obvious spams, aimed at this user, but
it tags them when mailed to me?  All our accounts are on the same server.

Sorry for the long mail, this is a strange one, for me at least anyway.

Thanks
