Pete, As I'm sure you're aware, mail.msu.edu uses a scoring algorithm to decide whether a given piece of mail appears to be spam. The mail system relies on a commonly-used tool, SpamAssassin. For any given mail message, you can look at the X- headers to see what attributes of the mail caused the score to rise above the threshold for declaring the message spam. If there is some particular attribute of mail from the Registrar's instructor mailing system that unduly excites SpamAssassin, we might be able to work with that office to tweak the mailing. But we need to see the X- headers for a message that failed. If you will send me the entire message including headers, I'll file a problem in our tracking system and contact RO tech staff. ... Lately it seems that NAG has become a buig reporting forum as much as a discussion forrum. I'd like to encourage people who think they've found a bug in a service supported by LC&T to please call or write the relevant help desk in addition to, or in lieu of, posting to this forum. /rich On Thu, 8 Jul 2004 08:22:57 -0400, Pete Maziak <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I sent an email from the MSU Instructor Systems Menu > <default1.asp?Address=/Forms/Instructor/InstructorMenu.asp&AddrDesc=InstructorSystemsMenu> > to my class list and found that at least one of the students' MSU mail > account marked my mail as spam.
