Mailing List Archive: Legitimate "outlook" mail marked as forged

Legitimate "outlook" mail marked as forged

both the bugzilla and wiki links are down at the moment, so I cannot tell if
there is a noted bug or FAQ discussion on this, so if someone could take a
moment to fill me in on the situation for this I'd appreciate it.

A search of the archives turns up a few similar complaints -- legitimate
outlook mail is being marked as "looks like outlook, but it isn't", with
nearly a +4 score that results [at least two tests hit this] but I don't see
any resolution to the problem posted [.or perhaps the way I'm searching only
finds the complaint, not the cure...] Sooooo... I'm adding a "metooo" to
this in search of "what is the recommended course of action"?

(Bugzilla is baaaack, and he's angry.)

I added this comment to a closed bug report, recently:
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2538
and am thinking about filing it as a new report, but it
may be related to this bug:
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2503

Do either of those match up with your situation?

This one seems more likely -- at least one of the messages that got a false
positive was indeed from a mailing list [.either majordomo or listserv, since
those are the primary type of lists I'm on]

I should also note that I'm using SA 2.55 [I think -- whatever was packaged w/
SuSE 9 pro] and I see from the site that 2.6x is "current" and may fix some
of these bugs, so I suppose I should investigate updating before I rattle any
further cages -- thanks for the update [and/or "fixing" bugzilla :) ]
