Hello All,
We use CommuniGate Pro 4.2.10 (CGP) with SpamAssassin
3.1.0.
We sent out a newsletter to our clients via CGP and were
surprised that it received a relatively high SpamAssassin score.
It was an HTML-formatted message so we assumed it would
receive some small score so we sent several test messages and found they scored
around 2.0 which we thought was acceptable. We then sent the message out
using a CGP List. We were very surprised when the resulting message then
scored 7.2 and we fear many clients
will not see it because the newsletter will be filtered as Spam. After some investigation we see the reason for the high score is two SpamAssassin rules RATWARE_MS_HASH (score 2.4) and RATWARE_OUTLOOK_NONAME (score 3.1) which were triggered as a result of sending via the CGP List. The original message was composed using Outlook Express and we believe the problem is that CGP List processor strips the original "X-Mailer" and "X-MimeOLE" headers which then triggers these rules. It gives a new Message-ID and replaces the original one with X-Original-Message-ID:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
We are not sure whether the fault lies more with SpamAssassin or CGP.
Does anyone know a way to get around this problem?
Whitelisting would be fine only locally. The main problem is that we
also sent out to outside clients, whose ISPs may use SpamAssassin for filtering
as well.
Thank you for your help and attention.
Irina
