X-Spam: high X-Spam-score: 4.2 X-Spam-hits: BAYES_50, EXTRA_MPART_TYPE, FORGED_RCVD_HELO, HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_TAG_BALANCE_BODY, MIME_HTML_MOSTLY, SARE_OBFU_PART_ING Is there something I can do about this?
These headers are coming from SpamAssassin. I suggest you look at their docs for definitions of what the X-Spam-hits mean. From my fairly limited memory I can tell you (subject to being very wrong) that... BAYES_50: Bayesian tests give it a 50% chance of being spam FORGED_RCVD_HELO: Your server did not correctly identify itself when it connected to the destination SMTP server HTML_MESSAGE: Message contains HTML HTML_TAG_BALANCE_BODY: HTML is not syntactically correct MIME_HTML_MOSTLY: The message is MIME, but there is no plain text version As I said I haven't actually looked these up, but I suggest you do. The things you need to do to prevent your messages getting high scores from spam filters are fairly simple, but they need to be researched to get it right. Hope that helps. -Stut
