Thanks Dave,  I guess I didn't think about looking in the RBL list.

I rememeber seeing somewhere a long list of blacklisted servers that someone was 
maintaining also, but I can't seem to find it again.  Was that here and does anyone 
know where it is???

Thanks again,
J.

That message had a number of image attachments. What was its total size?
Usual SA instllations have a max message size above which they won't
process. (IE if the message is large then it is bypassed).

You could add a MIME unpacker (such as MIMEdefang or mailscanner) to
your message processing system to seperate the message body from the
image attachments and then run just the message body thru SA.

I noticed that the message came from the IP address [218.75.22.22],
that's an open proxy as reported in a number of DSBLs. (10 of my
list hit it). Just add a few DSBLs as blockers to the front-end of
your CG server and not be bothered by that trash at all. ;)
