Well, that would be a start. One of the email admins I spoke with said that it is
becoming standard practice for mail servers to be set up to simply throw out bodyless
messages, no matter what the spam settings may be.
Could you add the SAID string to the subject?

The subject is
hhmmssyyyymmdd
Hh=hour
Mm=minutes
Ss=seconds
Yyyy=year
Mm=month
Dd=day
This is subject is needed for the check to work correctly.
So no this can't be changed.
As for the body of the mail, that's correct that one is empty.
What we could do is use a fixed message body saying something like 'Servers
Alive SMTP2POP3 COM check control mail'
The question is will this be enough for a spam system not to see the message
as being spam?

Subject: RE: [SA-list] SMTP2POP3 Com check...
Ok, I'm showing the following subject in the emails that are being sent:
"[SPAM] 12345676788900"
These sometime don't make it to the destination mailbox.
Now I know that the numbers are a slightly randomized date time stamp, and
I'm assuming that the "[SPAM]" part is being conviently added by my
companies spam service (Sprint, I believe). I have spoken with some other
email admins and the general thought is that it is being marked as spam
because of either the "numbers only in the subject line" rule, or the "no
message body" rule.
Can either of these attributes of the outbound message be changed?
