That's really strange, I don't see how DCC would fire on the subject.. the checksum of the message must have somehow matched some Spam.. Actually now that you mention it, I had to deal with a newsletter FP some time ago that was being hit by Pyzor, and then was being pushed over the threshold thanks to the formatting of the E-Mail. I had whitelisted the address for a while, and after testing about a month later, Pzyor was no longer hitting it, and whitelisting was removed. > I've not seen anything FP on both though, and BAYES would > probably prevent an FP if it did. Agreed, although the score assignments of Pyzor and DCC may warrant a review by some mail administrators - to be sure to be sure (that mail does flow). Cheers, Mike.
