I personally tag at 5.0 but reject at 15.0. I'm in the process of closing the gap, but rejecting at 5.0 (depending on your personal rule set) may be a little aggressive. I know for my mail flow that there would be a lot of false positives, much like your current issue. Do the emails always come from the same "from" envelope? You could whitelist the from address as an easy way around this specific problem. Certainly spammers could abuse this, but hopefully it would be a temporary solution anyways. Dave
