Erm, what do you mean with "not notify"? A Precedence of junk (or bulk) is also added by some autoresponders and other apps. So don't throw them away. A "low" Precedence more or less means for the system "don't generate any reply to this message", not "drop this mail". > This is therefore not a good test of whether the set-up is configured as I > would wish. (Especially as spammers don't mark their junk as junk!) Yeah, but some others do and if their mails are falsly identified as spam you don't get "notified" either. So your config probably isn't the best. Ok, you won't you get any error messages back when your message was detected and got a low Precedence set and was received by a system which is configured to drop identified spam. OTOH is IMO any system which drops spam, not caring about FPs, borked and should be fixed (and not be supported by us ;->). Anyway, the important part about the GTUBE is the string, not the headers so you can still test your system, you just have to create another mail containing that string.
