[snip] As of Spamassassin version 3.1.X it is
BAYES_50: Bayesian tests give it a 50% chance of being spam Bayesian spam probability is 40 to 60% and score is 0.0001 which is very low to consider in your case.
FORGED_RCVD_HELO: Your server did not correctly identify itself when it connected to the destination SMTP server score is 0.13
HTML_MESSAGE: Message contains HTML score is 0.0001, again to low to consider.
HTML_TAG_BALANCE_BODY: HTML is not syntactically correct MIME_HTML_MOSTLY: The message is MIME, but there is no plain text version look for this one. score ranging from 0.6 to 2.3.
EXTRA_MPART_TYPE: Header has extraneous Content-type:...type= score ranging from 0.73 to 1.09. SARE_OBFU_PART_ING: This rule seem to be custom.. What Stut said is correct but I would suggest you try out your mail with default spam scores set by Spamassassin. Mail server administrators can specify whatever scores they want for any tests. So you can't possibly maintain ham status of your mail on every server (running spamassassin) your mail sent to. All this considering your mail really isn't spam.. :-). -- Sameer N.
