[nylug-talk] Spam list?

[R. Drew Davis]

Lately, my ISP's spam-assassin filter has been scoring some NYLUG
mailings with scores just over my threshold of 5 for landing things into
my SPAM folder.   e.g. Ruben's recent mail in response to Kevin Mark's
question.

The filter is kind enough to enumerate what it finds offensive about the
message:

 pts rule name              description
---- ----------------------
--------------------------------------------------
 0.1 RDNS_NONE              Delivered to trusted network by a host with
no rDNS
 2.8 RCVD_IN_SBL            RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus SBL
                            [69.31.90.145 listed in zen.spamhaus.org]
 2.5 URIBL_SBL              Contains an URL listed in the SBL blocklist
                            [URIs: nylug.org]
 0.0 AWL                    AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list

I guess I should dig into why the auto-white list entry did nothing to
the final score of the message.   The 2.8 points for 60.31.90.145 puzzle
me as that is apparently mail.nylug.org.   Has nylug.org offended
someone enough to be declared a spammer??   The full headers of the mail
that was declared to be spam:

If you-all can do anything to get mail.nylug.org off of spamhaus's black
list, that would help.   If you've got suggestions about how to get the
autowhitelist entry to work right, I'd appreciate that.  Meanwhile, I'll
go dink with my Evolution mail filters so I don't have to get super
careful about reviewing my Junk folder all the time.
