Essentially, the user send a message using his yahoo.com address, but sent it through another provider. SA looked at the message and found that it didn't at all look like a yahoo.com server and since such techniques are commonly used by spammers, gave it an appropriately high score. Realistically, if the person wants to use a yahoo.com return address, he should send the e-mail from his yahoo.com e-mail account, not from some other service. If POP/SMTP access is desired, try the YahooPOPS project for a nice proxy link. Bret ---------- Send your spam to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for keeping the internet spam-free!
