Loren Wilton wrote: 1. Why did it get SPF_PASS if it is spam? Nice analysis, Loren. The only nit-pick I would make is that many spammers have valid SPF records set up, usually I believe "v=spf1 +all". A quick grep through my last 4000 spams shows 345 with SPF_PASS hits. That is actually

Forgive my ignorance... I assume that "negatively-scored" means that it is less likely to be spam, correct? Here is an example of a message that should have been flagged: X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.7 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,HTML_10_20, HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100,RAZO
