Thanks, Axb. Yes, I understand that SpamAssassin is very flexible. The problem I'm describing, however, is not with my SpamAssassin configuration (in which case I would simply adjust it); it is with Apache Software Foundation's configuration (over which I have no control). I raised this issue because ASF's SpamAssassin configuration -- specifically, the 12-letter-domain check -- causes my messages to its various mailing lists to be rejected more often than not. This list is very forgiving in that the required score is 10.0, but other ASF lists require only 5.0. All of that said, it sounds like this issue will be discussed among the developers, so maybe something will be done and not all 12-letter-domain owners will be blacklisted throughout the Internet. Best regards, -Ben
