I don't know if this is the right place, but I see that your > SpamAssassin filter gives my domain name a bad reputation. No, the past users of the same gTLD have given it a bad reputation. SpamAssassin merely reports that. [...] NOTE: whatever you're using to get a SpamAssassin score is broken. It seems to be showing negative scores for rules that should have positive (spammy) scores and the score values do not match recent versions of the standard ruleset. > -0.249 HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS From and EnvelopeFrom 2nd level > mail > domains are different That's not specific to your domain or TLD, it is a result of the addressing of your email: different domains in the From header and SMTP envelope. > -0.001 MIME_QP_LONG_LINE Quoted-printable line longer than 76 > chars That's entirely unrelated to domains, it's a quirk of your email's transport encoding which is formally improper but not *per se* significantly correlated to a message being spam or non-spam. > -0.499 FROM_SUSPICIOUS_NTLD From abused NTLD > -0.001 FROM_SUSPICIOUS_NTLD_FP From abused NTLD > -1.725 PDS_OTHER_BAD_TLD Untrustworthy TLDs > URI: combien.online (online) Total score: 2.225 as shown, 2.800 by current release scoring. Most of that is from the last rule, which checks domains found in the body of mail: in theory just from URLs, but that's loosely parsed. To be deemed "spam" by SpamAssassin using the default configuration, you'd need a score over 5. > Do you know how to avoid this by keeping the same domain name so that I > don't end up spamming my recipients? Whether you are spamming or not isn't determined by a SA score, it's determined by whether you have the consent of the people you're mailing. We assume that no one filing a bug here is actually spamming unless they say so. :) Note that the inclusion and scoring of rules in the default ruleset is controlled by a daily automated process that uses submitted corpora of "spam" and "ham" mail and their scoring. By design, every message will match some SA rules that have positive (spammy) scores and some that have negative (hammy) scores. If your mail scores below 5 IN TOTAL then SpamAssassin is saying that it is probably not spam. It's not critical to minimize your SA score, it only matters that you don't score too high (i.e. definitely below 5.) Some sites set their thresholds lower, but very rarely lower than 4. There is nothing about this that is addressable as a "bug" in SA. The inclusion of the 'online' TLD in the "suspicious" list is grounded in observed empirical fact, and the scoring of the rules using that list is constrained to limit the potential for broad damage (i.e. actually marking legitimate mail as spam.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
