spam detection issue on sending legitimate mail to Solr list
HI all, I just sent a very long post with 5 or 6 links to relevant articles in response to a thread on the Solr users list and got a message my mail was rejected due to a spam score.Can anyone tell me what I need to do to change the message so I can send it to the list. (Is there some reference I need to look at to understand the message?) Below is the message I received: ... tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain lucene.apache.org bymx1.eu.apache.org. [192.87.106.230 ]. The error that the other server returned was: 552 spam score (6.2) exceeded threshold (HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_ LOW,SPF_NEUTRAL,URIBL_SBL Tom Burton-West Information Retrieval Programmer Digital Library Production Service University of Michigan Library tburt...@umich.edu http://www.hathitrust.org/blogs/large-scale-search

: The error that the other server returned was: : 552 spam score (6.2) exceeded threshold (HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_ : LOW,SPF_NEUTRAL,URIBL_SBL HTML_MESSAGE: BAD - send plain text messages instead of HTML RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW: GOOD - your domain is considered unlikely to send spam SPF_NEUTRAL: BAD - you are sending your mail from a host that isn't explicitly authorized by an SPF record for your domain. URIBL_SBL: BAD - your mail body contained a URL that was on a domain in the Spamhaus Block List ...HTML_MESSAGE is the only one you can trivially address from your mail client. if that still causes problems for you because of the SQL, you can post the list of links in a gist/pastie and send a single link to that. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/

The methods for achieving this vary with the mail client you're using. Some of those SpamAssassin rules result in your score going *down*, here are the rules that increased your spam score: https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/HTML_MESSAGE https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/URIBL_SBL It looks like one or more of the URLs that you included is on a domain flagged by one of the more reliable blacklists -- Spamhaus. I don't know whether sending as plain text would be enough of a drop in the spam score to overcome that one, but it wouldn't hurt. Thanks, Shawn
