CID means you have an inline image. ARIAL2 means you have a 2 point arial font tag SARE is the Spam Assassin Rules Emporium, a set of commonly used rules for catching different types of spam in SA.
So it looks like you are getting double hit for images in the email and I am not sure why the rDNS fails as cips.org seems to work fine (unless this is another domain we are talking about). I would say this SA rule set is a little more aggressive than I would be, but not super uncommon. Take a look at your headers and see what is broken there, and perhaps take a look at the footers/signatures that folks are using and see if they are causing you trouble. I am curious about the quoted printable line, how is that resolved, is that fixed in the MTA or is that a client setting (ME2?) Good luck, we fight this battle ever so often. A lot of times, admins throw in a set of old rules or don't ever update them unless something breaks. Its always easier to tell the sender to fix their end, rather than examine the rule set and make sure it continues to make sense. One of my all time favorites, I was attempting to apply for a job at Cliff Bar and Company and they advertised to send your resume to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , but their MTA wont accept email from hosts not on their white list (which at that time included hotmail and my two home domains each hosted on a different provider with reverse DNS). Needless to say, I am not working for them :) Troy -----Original Message----- From: Laurence Childs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 5:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: reading SpamAssassin results Hi All Wonder if any one can help A remote site is claiming that all mail that we send to them is being classified as SPAM They have sent me these SpamAssassin headers as an example but I can't find any tutorials on what they mean: X-Spam-Score: 6.2 (++++++) X-Spam-Flag: YES X-Spam-Report: 6.2/6.0 ---- Start SpamAssassin results * 1.0 EXTRA_MPART_TYPE Header has extraneous Content-type:...type= entry * 0.4 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message * 1.8 MIME_QP_LONG_LINE RAW: Quoted-printable line longer than 76 chars * 1.4 SARE_GIF_ATTACH FULL: Email has a inline gif * 0.1 RDNS_NONE Delivered to trusted network by a host with no rDNS * 1.5 MY_CID_AND_ARIAL2 SARE CID and Arial2 ---- End SpamAssassin results Anybody able to point me to a list of what these entries mean or decode what the problem may be so that I know where to start looking Thanks Laurence IMPORTANT INFORMATION Internet communications are not secure and therefore CIPS does not accept legal responsibility for the contents of any e-mail message sent via this medium.
