What gives?
I have a suspicion that the site may list "normal" rules, and not the ones that use "meta". > I know I should be at version 2.6, but this is a production server > and I need to schedule the upgrade, which could take a week or so. > > I'm told by the users that have the problem that they are on the new > Outlook 2003, wich is what is causing this.

The problem is that Outlook 2003 no longer generates its own Message-ID, relying on the MTA to generate one. This means that you can no longer compare the X-Mailer/User-Agent header with the format of the Message-ID. I can't currently spot the bug in bugzilla -- it might have been fixed for future versions. The fix, I think is to detect Outlook 2003, and remove it from the expression used to generate the FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK rule. I'm hoping to find some time to look at this tomorrow. > I could just lower the Outlook related tests' scores, but that would > let a lot of spam through. That would fix the problem in the short term.
