Sometimes messages being flagged as spam by the mail.msu.edu filters is
sender-induced. Recently, we had a secretary's seminar announcements
being flagged as spam by the MSU system, and it turned out to be because
MSU's spam filter really doesn't like subject lines that are in all
capitals (as hers were), and long lines of characters (more than 76
characters on a line) as hers had. An inspection of the SMTP headers had
entries from the spam filter pointing these issues out.

Steve,
I find that some of my daily system status messages occasionally show
up flagged as spam as well. This is generally due to questionable
domain names being listed either under the mail queue summary or the
rejected connections summary. Perhaps you're running into something
along these lines, too.
