message. You have two avenues:

The list owner has already said in the opensuse list this will be done on Monday.

I'm not certain that the problem is that clear-cut, Carlos. With great regularity, a "forged" rcvd_helo gets bumped up to a Bayes status of 5.1, with 5.0 needed to flag the message as spam. You can tell whenever that has happened -- my messages suddenly start getting flagged as spam. When that stops,you know the "forged" rcvd_helo has been bumped back to a 4.1 status.
There seem to be far too many checks against the envelope, IMO, and with those, it is far too easy to see one's mail get marked as spam. I don't know how these changes happen (I tend to doubt the Bayes filter adjusts the values that much itself), but they are very bothersome. I don't do any header checking with any of my received email, and my Bayes filter catches all but a message or two out of a thousand or more.
Er... Just look at your own message (this one), what antispam checking headers the suse server added: X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at Relay1.suse.de X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.1 tagged_above=-20.0 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_99, FORGED_RCVD_HELO X-Spam-Level: ***** X-Spam-Flag: YES The problem is not the "FORGED_RCVD_HELO" tag, but the "BAYES_99" one. Both are totally independent. The first is a kind of regexp match and some tests; the second is more complicated and I can't explain, but it is a sort of score on text coincidences with previous mails that the system has been told previously that are spam. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
