It's more that Outlook no longer generates a Message-ID, and relies on the MTA to generate one. With earlier versions, Outlook did create its own Message-ID, and its format could be checked against the X-Mailer header. > SA 2.60 appears to have an improved version of the rule, allowing 3 > patterns of message ID's instead of 2, but I can't tell from the tests if > it will catch your legitamate messages or not. ... > I'd suggest any of the following: > > 1) upgrade to 2.60 > 2) over-ride the score to something smaller in your local.cf: > > score FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 > > 3) copy the rule, and it's 3 sub-rules, out of the 2.6x 20_ratware.cf and > into your 20_ratware.cf in place of the existing one. A better option would be to modify the rules so that the Outlook X-Mailer/Message-ID check didn't trigger for Outlook 11. That would mean that the check would still work for checking mail apparently sent by Outlook <=11.
