This thread is ancient now, but here's a followup: I never got a response from Easyjet, but I did get (today) a replica of the original e-mail. It's almost identical (same appalling html, still from savvis.net, but from a different ip), but missing a chunk of advertising (hotels, car rental, etc), and with some very slightly different wording about hand luggage. The new version hits these rules: DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE, FORGED_RCVD_HELO, [this is new] HTML_FONT_FACE_BAD, HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_TINY_FONT, MIME_HTML_MOSTLY, SARE_OBFU_AMP2B, SARE_SPEC_LEO_LINE03a, USER_IN_WHITELIST [because I whitelisted them] DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE HTML_FONT_FACE_BAD HTML_MESSAGE HTML_TINY_FONT MARKETING_PARTNERS [This has gone] MIME_HTML_MOSTLY MPART_ALT_DIFF [This has gone] SARE_OBFU_AMP2B SARE_SPEC_LEO_LINE03a Chris
