Problem with messages being tagged as spam

[akertis]

We are seeing that some messages are being tagged as

X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=3.25 tagged_above=-10 required=2.4

tests=[AWL=-0.035, BAYES_50=0.001, DNS_FROM_OPENWHOIS=1.13,FORGED_MUA_OIMO=2.152, FORGED_OUTLOOK_TAGS=0.001, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001]

These messages are not sent by us but some legitimate email is seeing the FORGED_MUA_OIMO tag. My understanding this means that it thinks the message from where it was sent was impersonating outlook. Has anyone seen else seen this? The only thing I know to do is to move it out of junk and then it will through the ham account.

Thanks!

1) 2.4 required value is really LOW..you are bound to get lots of False Positives.
3.8-4.5 is what is see in most of the zimbra servers

You're also getting hit with [SOLVED] spamassassin: false positives from openwhois

Does anyone know if the false-positives from openwhois can be fixed in 5.x we are still running 5.0.21. Is this fixed because 6.x has newer SA rules?

Thanks!

I have several suggestions in the thread I linked. 6.x comes bundled with newer SA rules, but you could modify the ones that come with your 5.x install.
