I was messing around with fetchmail yesterday seeing if I could get it to work for the first time. After playing with it for a few hours and seeing that it was working I happened to notice one of my crontab messages was in the right folder, but marked as spam. Looking at the headers and spam report I saw this:
X-Spam-Prev-Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin restart

I'm using Sprint DSL, not a dial-up connection. I've contacted sorbs about this and am awaiting an answer. I've quit using fetchmail for now. Any ideas on why this happened?
Id say its because you have a dynamic ip address. You might want to send all mail out through your isp's mail servers instead.
