I notice this: Received: from [192.168.1.11] (ool-43502cd4.dyn.optonline.net [67.80.44.212]) by mailspool2.panix.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 96A57194700 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mon, 10 Nov 2003 16:36:47 -0500 (EST) Presumably you're authenticating with mailspool2.panix.com somehow -- using SMTP AUTH or similar. Then Panix is checking mail going *from* an authenticated address *to* a Panix address; this fails, because there's no way for SpamAssassin to tell that that didn't arrive from an unauthenticated sender out on the 'net somewhere. Really, Panix need to whitelist this situation, by adding a local rule to offset the Dynablock hit for authenticated users. Or just skip messages that came via authenticated submission to Panix from spam-scanning. BTW -- non-Panix users don't get that DYNABLOCK hit. f'rexample, I see: X-spam-status: No, hits=-1.8 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,FORGED_MUA_EUDORA, RCVD_IN_NJABL autolearn=no version=2.70-cvs Regarding the FORGED_MUA_EUDORA hit: this bug is open for that issue: http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2654 I've moved the milestone so we can try to fix it for 2.61. - --j. >I have a number of gripes about this. > > 1) I only get 5 points not 5.1 when I add them together. > > 2) I am getting penalized multiple times for the same "offence" - >ie: Using a Cable Connection to send my mail to the CORRECT SMTP >Server (ie: The designated Server for the ISP whose account my mail >is addressed from instead of the "Smart Host" of my Cable ISP). > >I get both a RCVD_IN_NJABL_DIALUP and a RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK for being a >Cable User (3 points) and an extra .1 point for sending to my ISP's >SMTP Server when not using that ISP's Connectivity.
