Stevens messages are among the most frequent spamassassin triggers. The scoring diff that tips the scales is the time error: 1.0 DATE_IN_PAST_12_24 Date: is 12 to 24 hours before Received: date There is also this: 0.5 APOSTROPHE_FROM From address contains an apostrophe This list commits a whole menu of errors that spamassassin doesn't like. The whole list from a different message: Content analysis details: (5.6 points, 5.1 required) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- 3.5 BAYES_99 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 99 to 100% [score: 1.0000] 0.0 HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS From and EnvelopeFrom 2nd level mail domains are different 1.0 DATE_IN_PAST_12_24 Date: is 12 to 24 hours before Received: date 0.2 BAYES_999 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 99.9 to 100% [score: 1.0000] 0.8 RDNS_NONE Delivered to internal network by a host with no rDNS 0.0 T_DKIM_INVALID DKIM-Signature header exists but is not valid Some of these should be fixable by proper configuration of the listserver, but don't confuse me with an expert.
