Tagged as spam, I'm not as sure. networksolutions.com before: http://www.azc.com/htmls/faqs/nsiauth.txt http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0106/0015.html networksolutions.com now: http://www.politechbot.com/p-03729.html http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=344 register.com now: http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=345 Using those two messages (I'm still missing headers and don't have the original emails, so there may be additional rules that match), the new confirmation emails will always trigger at least these rules: networksolutions.com: CLICK_BELOW,DEAR_SOMEBODY,FREE_ACCESS,NO_REAL_NAME,SPAM_PHRASE_08_13 total = 3.725 register.com: CLICK_BELOW,NO_REAL_NAME,ONLY_COST,SPAM_PHRASE_13_21 total = 3.176 And the STATISTICS for those rules?
