Actually I would say that I was wrong. Spamassassin did not think that the body was spam. I guess I would be annoyed if someone sent me an unsolicited solicitation for a donation, but spamassassin is smart enough to separate that from the various scams and ads that spammers actually do send out. osirusoft.com is not a spammer. They run a DNS server that programs like spamassassin can use to look up an ip address that is in a mail header to see if it belongs to a spammer or an open relay that is used by spammers. You have to take some of databases there with a grain of salt, as some are a bit overzealous in adding ip addresses to their list. I run using the -L option to disable all network based checks since I found that it took seconds to check one email with them and a small fraction of a second without them, and they had too many false positives compared to the little bit of extra spam they caught. If you disable the network checks your email would have passed with a score of just 2.4. I believe that Craig runs the rule scoring without any of the network checks, which would make it too slow, so the scores are optimized without them. -- sidney _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
