That reads to me like there are two classifiers going. One is listing itself as "SpamAssassin" and one is listing itself as "spam". It looks like both are triggered and listing the message as a spam message. The generic "spam" tag could be from one of many other classification engines available today. > The message to you has been detected as spam based on either its contents or > the mail server which sent the message to us, or both. > > We do not accept unsolicited commercial (spam) e-mail and actively > work to stop it. This looks like a message inserted by your company. This tells me that some type of filtering is in the mail path to you. Apparently they continue to deliver a stripped form of the message when it is classified as spam. (That is actually a very bad thing to do because stripped messages are themselves a form of spam.) > If you have any questions about this, or you believe you have received > this message in error, please contact the site system administrators. The SpamAssassin folks here are a user community who contribute to the use and development of the free tool. This is then often deployed by individual sites around the world. I would guess that someone has deployed spamassassin in your environment. Therefore contacting your site system administrators with this information makes sense. If this is being filtered by your site mail administrators then they will be able to adjust the filters so that these messages are not classified as spam. This is valuable feedback to them because many users will experience the same behavior. > Your system administrators will need the following information: > Server name: the antispam () MailScanner > Message id: AD5344E6A97E.99C0B > Date code: 20061103 Well that is not very useful because it does not say the name of the server! This does not look like a spamassassin message. This looks like a message added by a site mail handler. > Uh, yeah, sure whatever you say. I do not have spamassassin, never > downloaded it. You are using a mail client to access your mail from the mail server. SpamAssassin is a tool that is typically installed on a mail server. We believe you that you have not installed it on your desktop. It is most probably installed on your mail server by your site mail administrators. Here is another important point. There could be many mail servers between the sender and the recipient. Mail messages are passed along hop by hop from one server to the next. It is possible that for the problem with this message that the filtering is not happening at the final hop but instead at one of the relays in between. Your site mail administrator should be able to deduce this information from the message headers. > I changed servers about a month ago at home and have checked with my > ISP and they do not use it.

This information seems odd and seems in conflict with itself. It reads to me that you have two paths for mail. One path comes through your home ISP and your ISP is handling the mail. Another path comes through your work account which you are also using for mail and simply accessing through your ISP. Your ISP will only be concerned with the mail through the ISP servers. But the above messages indicate that this is probably a problem through your company mail servers. I think you need to contact your company's mail administrators. Bob P.S.
