Could be wrong, but don't think the problem will affect others outside
us.  Our lists and form mailers (blat) are to internal addresses only.
"Normal" email (non-list serv mail) isn't being tagged.

We use 'poster only' lists and the problem seems to be with particular
posters, because some posters' mail to the lists don't trip off
anything.

Just tested several forms and not all of those are getting tagged.

Looks like a fun weekend if figuring this one out.

Thanks all,
John

Plus, don't forget that those of us using Declude and Imail Antispam
will be filtering mail from you until you get the problem fixed, too.
Depending on the problem, other spam filters used by others might be
catching it, too.

That's usually not the best approach, for two reasons:

[1] Many spammers know that people whitelist their own domain, so the 
spammers will often send the E-mail with a return address on your domain

name.  It's a very easy way for them to increase their paycheck by about

10-20% or so.

[2] Although whitelisting your domain can help reduce false positives on

your local-to-local E-mail, it's impossible for a whitelist to whitelist

your E-mail on other servers.

Normally, the best approach is to see what spam tests the E-mails are 
failing, and then fix the problem that is causing them to fail the spam 
test(s).
