Yes, the ColdFusion X-Mailer header is and was something that systems rejected mail over which is why you should always specify that header in your CFMAIL code.
As for our spam filters - your CFMAIL code is causing our spam filters to flag your headers as forged and headers from Outlook Express as OK. The apparent difference seems to be your message-id header (which is created by CFMX's underlying Java code). For example, here is a Message ID header from CF:
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Here is one from Outlook Express:
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
So, my SPAM filter sees the other Outlook-style headers and sees that the message-id header is not an Outlook header and flags the mail.
I would suggest adding a CFMAILPARAM to specify the message-id header as one possible solution.

>> Our SPAM filter, BTW, is tagging mail generated from your code as having
forged Outlook headers.
There was some discussion a while back about how the X-mailer, if set to
Cold Fusion (the default) would trigger spam filters/blocking as well (since
it was hypothesized that only bulk mail would come from CF, and therefore,
its spam). The Outlook (or express) was deemed at that time an acceptable
alternative. So, can the assumption be that neither work now - what's a
legit, above board, double opt-in list emailer to do?
Thanks, Mark
