Oops..2nd time, sorry - had to resub to NANOG and hadn't actually sent the sub to -post.

Except possibly don't use the word "spam", or anything else that is liable to trip SpamAssassin and friends into giving your messages a high score (so references to abdominal anatomy and cable tv decoders are also probably unwise :).

I'm frequently surprised that more people don't run their (legitimate, opt-in, whatever) bulk mail through SpamAssassin before they send it in order to see how spam-like it looks. I'm forever having to pick itineraries and electronic tickets from airlines out of my spam folder.

Send them to us; we're happy to tell them to use Habeas. :-) (SpamAssassin is a partner, and whitelists mail using our headers, so those itineraries and e-tickets will sail through SpamAssassin, along with about 3 dozen other ISP and spam filter partners :-) Of course, if it's mailing list mail, it *has* to be confirmed opt-in.] Anne
