Browsing my mailbox the other day, i took a peek in my trashcan to see what my (server-side) spam filter had killed. And surprisingly i found this auto generated mail (that notified me for new replies at a thread i participated in) from this forum which had been identified as spam:

SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ----------------------

SPAM: -------------------- End of SpamAssassin results ---------------------

The spamassasin software i have running on my server uses an spam-check method/algorytm that is used and shared by many other spam filtering software.

I have now instructed procmail not to send mail from this domain through the filter. I just wanted to share this discovery of mine. (i completly forgot that i enabled this forum-option in the first place).

I use Spam Assasin on my server also.

Unfortunately it too "treated" CS.com email from the forum as Spam. I white listed all aliases @celicasupra.com in the Spam Assasin settings and that took care of it.

Spam Assasin IS smart, but it's not perfect.
