I’ve created a paste bin with a couple of sample emails here: http://pastebin.com/KfYrGMm8
I’m running spam assassin on a my Mail server Ubuntu 14.04. I use postfix as my MTA. Spamassasin is at 3.4.0, with razor and I have these recipient restrictions set in postfix: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net, reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org, reject_rbl_client multi.uribl.com, reject_rbl_client dsn.rfc-ignorant.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client ix.dnsbl.manitu.net, reject_rbl_client combined.rbl.msrbl.net, reject_rbl_client rabl.nuclearelephant.com, permit My DNS forwards queries. I hope this is enough.
