Hmm you're report regards SpamAssassin 2.20, a rather old version of SA to say the least, Using the current release version of spamassassin (2.43) I get a negative score for this mailing.

In the future, please realize that if you're running an old version of SA, you should test against a semi-recent version. Spam signatures are under constant development and have their scores evolved against current spam/nonspam quite often. If your running something less than 2.43 I strongly suggest you consider an upgrade, or at least consider upgrading to 2.50 when it is released.

The announcement of Debian 3.0r1 was labeled as spam, with these hits:

SPAM: Hit! (2.7 points)  BODY: Claims you can be removed from the list
SPAM: Hit! (2.4 points)  BODY: No such thing as a free lunch (2)
SPAM: Hit! (1.8 points)  No MX records for the From: domain

The mentions of "free" had to do with free software.  The offer to be
removed from the list is legitimate.  I don't know what the problem
was in identifying the source domain.

Anyway, I'd appreciate your adding this to your "nonspam" corpus.
(I hope you don't mind the attachment.)
