Re: Spam from the list?

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

HI Brad,

I do not believe, it is a training problem. Why? Well, your formerly mail was 
marked as spam. So I marked it as ham. Now, your second mail again is marked 
as spam. 

We know, there is nothing unusual with your mail, but it is again marked as 
spam. Even, when I explicity marked your mails as ham! 

Thus the problem is not on my computer. 

I believe, what Thomas said: Megamail or my mailprovider is setting the X-
Spam-Flag to YES, and my spamassassin is recognizing this and marks this as 
spam.

The solution would be, either to make megamails or my provider make things 
correctly (but I have no atom bombs to force them) , or delete my rule, to 
check the X-Spam-Flag (which I actually do not want). 

Important is: The cause is not at debian server (which is fine!) and not on my 
system (which is also fine), but on the provider server. 

To know this, I think we can safely close this issue.

We have learnt some things (which is always important) and could find the 
reason.

Thank you all for your help and input!!

Best regards

Hans
