So, if I write a clean message, with no spam tag (I assure you there is no such tag above in this email), but when it reaches you it has an spam tag, unless you tell your mail client to ignore it you are not going to see my message. You have two avenues:
* contact the mail list owner and request them to remove the spam tags or cleant ther filters. * adjust your mail client.
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.
