Re: [SUSPECTED SPAM] inserted in subject line

2006-04-21 Thread Arjun Sahani

Hi Peter,


How can you be so sure about that, being tagged on your side?


AS Because  when my recipient reply to me they have something like that:
AS Re: [Suspected Spam] .


Ahhh...
No proof of some outgoing program / tool adding that line.
More like some incoming filter which adds it. As you wrote above: 
when my recipient reply to me


It is not an incoming filter because the subject of the receipt confirmation 
that I get from MAILER-DAEMON says Delivery report: [SUSPECTED SPAM] 



Did you check if your recipient received the msg including [Suspected
Spam] in the subject? What's the answer?


Yes they do receive. I strongly feel it is my ISP the main culprit. I 
suspect they have some sort of bayesian filter running and does not like 
something with the message header generated by TB!. I am trying to sort this 
out with them.


Thanks,
Arjun

Hi Ian,

AS culprit. I suspect they have some sort of bayesian filter running
AS and does not like something with the message header generated by
AS TB!. I am trying to sort this out with them.



Well, I do know that the spam filter of Norton Internet Security will
add things to the Subject of incoming mail that is scanned for spam.


I think the ISP has such a filter but what puzzled me is that the filter 
operates on outgoing mail as well. It is weird.



As to why it does not happen with other mail clients, some spam
filters consider mail created by The Bat! is potential spam.


I have spoken longly with the ISP people and they possibly have found 
something that could be causing the problem. Like Roelof pointed to me in a 
private mail, it is definitely their SMTP filter that is adding the spam tag 
to my message. They promise to fix it on Monday!!!


I want to thank everyone for their precious help and for pointing me to the 
possible origin of the problems.


Regards,
Arjun

Do you have this problem with all mails or only with HTML-mails?


No, I don't use HTML-mail at all.


Any time I forward a HTML-mail in HTML-Format to my company mail
address, this mail is tagged as Spam. This does not happen when I
forward as plain text with HTML attachment. The reason in my case is,
that my company uses a 2 years old version of SpamAssassin (v 2.64)
and SpamAssasin thinks that TB is not able to send HTML mails.

Perhaps your problem has a similar cause.


Though my problem does not seem to originate from HTML mail but I do think 
that the ISP filtering system that causing this. But whether it is 
SpamAssassin I don't know this.

Arjun

[SUSPECTED SPAM] inserted in subject line

2006-04-20 Thread Arjun Sahani

Hi,

I have a very weird problem when using the bat! I have [SUSPECTED SPAM] 
inserted infront of my subject. It's not inserted by my smtp server because 
when I use another email program I do not get this. I spoke with the ISP and 
they have no clue either. They tell me it is my email program which is the 
culprit.


Thank you.

First, check Options / Preferences / Protection / Anti-Spam if you are
using any anti-spam plugin.


I thought the same too. I was using BayesFilter and removed it but no 
chance. I tried playing with the X-Mailer field but did not work.

Hi Alexander,

I thought the same too. I was using BayesFilter and removed it but no 
chance.


So, that preferences option is entirely empty?


Yes  completely  empty.  I  even deleted the BayesFilter folder to be
sure!


 I tried playing with the X-Mailer field but did not work.



Ah. You mean the subject line is included in messages SENT by you?


The  messages  I  send  are  tagged  on  my  end since the recipients
received  my  message  with  the  [Spam  Suspected] but in the sent
folder the tag is not there.


In  that  case,  it can't be any antispam plugin, because it is only
used  on  message  you  are  receiving.  Its  not  used for outgoing
messages.


I would think so too.


Check your Sent Mail folder. If the subject line is not there, its
not TheBat.


It  should be The Bat! since I do have have this problem with another
email program.


If  any  remote system is classifying your mails as spam and it only
happens  when  you're  using TheBat, the X-Mailer header is the only
known culprit, in that case it should be disabled.


It's disabled.


If  it  happens  even  when  the  X-Mailer  header  is disabled, its
something  else  on  the  way from your end to the remote end. Maybe
you're relaying your mails over a blacklisted gateway, or something.


Well,  if  this is the case then I should have the same problem using
another  email  client  but  the  other  email  client I used did not
exhibit this problem.

Very  strange indeed. Even my ISP could not understand it. I was 100%
sure it was with the ISP SMTP filtering system playing some mischiefs
with  my  mails  but  assured me they don't have one for the outgoing
messages.

Thanks,

Arjun

2006-04-20 Thread Arjun Sahani

Hi Roelof,


If I understand this correctly, this concerns your outgoing mail.


Yes


1) Do all of your contacts complain about this?


No  some.  It  seems  it depends on the content. I notice for message
starting with Dear Sir, I have this problem and some other as well.

Trying  to  send  the  same  message  with  with  nPOP (a small email
program)  did not result with my message being tagged with [Suspected
Spam].  I  even tried putting spamming words like Viagra using nPOP
but still without problem but it fails with TB!


2) Does the prefix appear in your 'sent mail' folder? (In that case
   it's a template issue.)


No it does not.


3) Could you send me a private message with TB, just to see whether it
   occurs in a message to me.


Ok I sent a message to you.

Regards,

Arjun

Is your other email client using the same SMTP server? What email
client is that? Who's your ISP?

One might go on like that. In worst case, you can have a test account
on my server, then see what happens.


I  just checked checked with my gmail account and it's ok with TB! But
the  question  that  arises is what's wrong with the combination of my
ISP and TB!?


Your signature delimiter is broken 


Sorry  for  this. I am using hotmail webmail to access my mails till I
find  a  solution  for  the  [Suspected  Spam]  problem. I think the
delimiter does not work with hotmail.

Smells like some Bayes filter, somewhere.

And, uhhh... I just noticed your email addy is some hotmail addy. Are
you using TB to access it directly, send / receive ? -- Hence, some
hotmail filtering / tagging ??

If so, what happens using your true email addy?


I am only using the web inteface of hotmail to send this until I find a 
solution for the Suspected Spam problem.
