Hi,

I run Ipswitch Mail Server, a popular mail server on Win32, and recently 
one of my users had a legitimate email he sent flagged as spam by 
SpamAssassin running on the receiving server.  What caught my attention 
was the line:

SMTPD_IN_RCVD      (2.1 points)  Received via SMTPD32 server (SMTPD32-n.n)

(SMTPD32-n.n) is how IMail identifies itself.  So this test is saying that 
if the message is coming from an IMail server, it's probably spam.  Right?  
To my knowledge, IMail is as secure against spammers as any other good mail 
server.  It's dirt simple to configure as a closed relay.  The 
documentation strongly recommends doing this and explains the problems 
with open relays in detail.

I searched for more information on this test on the SpamAssassin web site 
and the list archives but couldn't find anything.  Can anyone explain the 
reasoning behind this test?

Thanks,

Tom
