It's probably because a lot of small-time, DYI spammers use that software to perform bulk mailing.

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?
