Marc,

As Matt said, SpamAssassin has nothing to do with the stearns.org
blacklist and this mailing list is not the correct place for such
questions. However, as a courtesy I'll offer some advice this once.

To clarify what I mean by "nothing to do with": The stearns.org
blacklist is designed to be used with SpamAssassin, just like the words
in a book are intended to be printed on paper. We are the paper
manufacturers. Don't come to us about the words in the book if you have
an issue with what the book says.

To get your domain removed from the stearns.org blacklist, please see
the web page
http://www.sa-blacklist.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/README.submissions.html
and scroll down to the section "Removing domains". Read that section
very carefully, including the advice as to what to put in the Subject
heading of your email to keep it from being blocked by his spam filters.
Be sure to tell him the name of the domain that is being blocked and
include supporting evidence as to why it should be renoved from the
blacklist.

It doesn't say so on the website, but I suggest creating a Google Mail
account (gmail) to send the request from. As Matt pointed out, the email
that you sent us using AtMail is in an unusual HTML-only format with no
plain text section, and that by itself is enough to cause it to be
blocked by some spam filters. You probably want to eventually figure out
how to fix that in AtMail, but I suggest that for expediency in getting
a mail message through to stearns.org you simply use gmail for that.

As I have no information about the stearns.org blacklist other than what
I researched just now to write this message, I cannot help you if my
advice does not help you. As Matt suggested, the SpamAssassin Users
mailing list would be an appropriate place to solicit advice on avoiding
having your mail filtered by sites that use SpamAssassin, as long as you
are convincing when you make your requests that you are not a spammer
trying to avoid getting spam-filtered.
