JP,
Outlook identifies itself to the outgoing MTA as a client and I may get
corrected on this but Squirrel Mail probably identifies itself as a Server
(MTA) since it is designed to be just that. Opt Online will then list the
IP address of your server as the first Received From: header. Outlook
identifies itself to an MTA as a MUA; therefore, the first receiver
(optonline.com) is listed first in the Received From: header.
The easiest solution for this is to get your server out of the DYNABLOCK.
Every one of the hits in SpamAssassin were because your IP is in a DYNABLOCK
and not a static IP address. The more complex solution would be to get Opt
Online to Install SquirrelMail for your use. Judging by their web site I
doubt this will happen because they have there own Web Based E-mail solution
which may or may not be Squirrel Mail.
Regards,
Pete

Thanks again for your patience,
but I have said it in each and every message! Squirrel mail is set to use
SMTP *NOT* sendmail for outgoing messages.
Maybe this will help:
This is how my message scored on a third party system running SpamAssassin
notice the fact that my IP 24.44.185.239 is triggering the RBL rule to mark
the message as spam? Well that IP is the IP assigned to my system by my
ISP. Maybe I was mislead by the *Reply* from the Spamassassin list but from
his/her message (provided below the Spam Assassin rules) but it makes sense
to me (and it also explains why mail I send through through Outlook express
is not marked as Spam) and I am hoping that someone here has a work around
or solution for me!

========Explanation of my problem from the SpamAssassin Mailing list===
=======================================================================
As far as it working using Outlook Express that's because Squirrelmail is
inserting its own Received header in there before delivering it to your ISP.
When you send through Outlook Express the first hop is your ISP receiving
the mail from you which has your dynamic IP as the sender. SpamAssassin
knows to ignore this first hop and start looking for IP's to lookup in RBLs
at the second hop. Since Squirrelmail is inserting it's own header BEFORE
delivering it to your ISP SpamAssassin ignores Squirrelmail's header (since
it's the first) and starts looking at the second header. The second header
shows your dynamic IP as the sender and SpamAssassin performs RBL checks on
it. ========================================================================
Thanks,
JP
