Expanding on Daryl's comment:
What you attached is the bounce message from the server, which explains why your
email was rejected, but does not include the complete mail that was rejected.
Without seeing that complete email, I can't say why it triggered the INFO_TLD
rule. I would bet that if you looked at the mail itself you would find that it
does contain a link inside of it to some web site in the .info domain.
There is a problem in that the mail server at intel.cybernet.ro is not using
SpamAssassin the way it was designed. They have set it to mark as spam mail with
a score threshold of 4.5 instead of the 5.0 threshold it was tuned for. Worse,
they automatically bounce the mail at that threshold instead of placing it in a
"possible spam" graymail folder that can be checked for errors. They must be
rejecting a lot of legitimate email with those settings.
Of course you probably have no say as to how your customer's ISP or IT
department configure their mail server. But your customer may want to know that
whoever is running their mail server is probably rejecting much legitiamte
email.
The INFO_TLD rule contributes only 0.481 points to that total. The
URIBL_OB_SURBL is the serious one, with 1.996 points. Somewhere in the email is
a link to a web site that has been identified as being advertised in spam and is
on teh OutBlaze list. See http://www.surbl.org/lists.html#ob for information
about that list. If your newsletter advertises web sites that are known to be
advertised in spam, then you will get a high score.
In summary, 1) check your original email and verify that the links in there do
not contain web sites that are advertised by spammers; 2) Advertising .info
sites will not by itself get you marked as spam, only add 0.48 points to the
score; 3) It is almost certainly not caused by infonews.ro in a URL; 4) The site
that bounced your message has a very bad configuration for someone who expects
to receive email.
I'm closing this bug as WORKSFORME because as far as I can tell infonews.ro is
handled correctly by SpamAssassin. If you can come up with an email that
contains an infonews.ro URL and does not contain any .info URL but still is
marked as INFO_TLD, please reopen this bug and attach that email with evidence
that SpamAssassin did trigger the INFO_TLD rule on that email.
