I certainly didn't get it. > What it looks like is that SHSU is using Spam Assassin to scan mail. > And that it doesn't work, as it passed this message as not being > spam: SpamAssassin works very well, actually... The best of any spam filter I've ever seen. I got a ton of spam through my university email address (while it was still active), and it was all but eliminated after I installed the SpamAssassin POP3 proxy. Sure, a few things per week squeaked through, but nearly all of my 5+ spams a day were caught. And just because some things are done that make SpamAssassin assign a positive score doesn't mean it's actually spam. That's the reason that SA requires a score of 5 or higher to actually label an email as spam.
