Please accept my apologies; I was not sufficiently clairvoyant to know what information _you_ would think was important in _my_ message. That said, I disagree with the premise any of the info you asked for _is_ relevant to the discussion at hand (other than the version of SA, of course, which was provided in my original mail). > FreeBSD is not a mailserver. Yes, it is. These days, a mail server (two words) is a computer used to store and/or forward electronic mail . See http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?query=mail+server&action=Search sendmail is an MTA; it is not a mail server. My mail server is cfcl.com; it runs FreeBSD. We digress, however. This is off topic. >It matters because your MTA should be configured not to accept mail from >other domains (can be checked by doing reverse DNS look ups on the helo >or client MTA) claiming to be from anyone in your domain.

AWL is a SpamAssassin feature and it seems to be AWL that is getting in my way. >Sorry, I'm an Exim 4 and Postfix 2 person, not a Sendmail person. Or a >procmail person. That's why I complain about people refusing to say what >software they're working with. Again, my apologies; I was insufficiently clairvoyant to guess this. That said, I still maintain that NONE of this matters (except for the version of SA which I did originally provide). I am looking for a SA solution. "Solutions" (aka workaroounds) in procmail/exim/sendmail/etc will be politely ignored. I can create workarounds for myself. Please don't send them. This is a Spam Assassin problem! The mail from which this set of headers was clipped should have had a spam score of 8.333; instead it has a score of -6.3. The only thing I see that can account for the lower score is AWL which is not a "rule" for which a simple "score" can be modified.
