One of our users here sent me a spam that got through. (The raw message is
included as an attachment) It only scored 0.9 One thing that stood out were
some of the headers: "X-Company_ID: 12444" and "X-Campaign: 29ed298423"
My questions are:

Should X-Company_ID and X-Campaign be considered definate spam-sign?

How often do you see these headers?

Do you or somebody you know have a rule for this? (I write regex the same
way I write aramaic...  It just never works out, lol)

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. Sorry for any oddities in this mailing, btw... the weather during
spring in new england fluctuates more than the NASDAQ, and that wreaks havoc
on my body. If anybody can recommend a cold remedy that actually works, but
doesn't make me all loopy & insane-like, please, PLEASE let me know. ;)
