--- Comment #1 from John Hardin <[email protected]> ---
The relevant portion of that screenshot is 1.725 points for a hit on
PDS_OTHER_BAD_TLD.

The points are scored because in the sample emails we use to evaluate rules and
generate rule scores the .pro top-level domain is used far more often in spam
than in ham - potentially exclusively in spam.

There is apparently overlap between that rule and FROM_SUSPICIOUS_NTLD, both
hit. This is probably because the TLD appears in both message headers and
message body.

There are no other non-informative "spammy" hits. Your email is pretty clean.

The default score for SpamAssassin marking a message as "spam" is 5 points.
These two hits only add 2.2 points.

Don't obsess about getting a perfect score. Your email would not be scored as
spam by SpamAssassin.

As long as you're using a TLD that is being disproportionately abused by
spammers (or, alternatively, as long as the users of that TLD are
disproportionately spammers) you can expect *some* reputational damage to your
emails.

This is not a bug in SpamAssassin. Rule score issues are better taken to the
SpamAssassin Users mailing list.
