Spam Assassin considers CP's reply mails to be spam
-
Using the default version of SA that comes with Debian, most of my CP reply notifies get flagged as spam:
Content preview: CodeProject Forum Notification Do not hit 'reply' to this email: To reply, click here. Pete O'Hanlon has posted a reply to your message at "The Lounge": [...] Content analysis details: (5.3 points, 5.0 required) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -0.0 SPF_HELO_PASS SPF: HELO matches SPF record -0.0 SPF_PASS SPF: sender matches SPF record 1.8 HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_20 BODY: HTML: images with 1600-2000 bytes of words 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message 1.7 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts 1.8 MIME_QP_LONG_LINE RAW: Quoted-printable line longer than 76 chars The original message was not completely plain text, and may be unsafe to open with some email clients; in particular, it may contain a virus, or confirm that your address can receive spam. If you wish to view it, it may be safer to save it to a file and open it with an editor.
Presumably the content could be tweaked slightly, to stop it triggering those rules
Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

I'm unaware of any modern email client that actually allows javascript or ActiveX controls to be run. If the only way to make SpamAssassin happy is stop sending HTML based emails then I'm afraid SpamAssassin will have to stay grumpy.

I think it's mostly paranoid about images, since those can contain tracking links, and such. I guess I'll just add it to the whitelist for my site - just figured it was worth noting, in case other ISPs are using SA

For awhile Thunderbird was identifying CP's Daily News as possible spam, but I've got it trained now.
