[SM-USERS] Squirrelmail knocked-off by SpamAssassin

Squirrelmail knocked-off by SpamAssassin

I am running squirrelmail 1.2.7 on RedHat 7.3. Yesterday I sent a message
which was identified by SpamAssassin (www.spamassassin.org) as
"probable-spam". I posted a message to
spa...@li... but have yet to receive a
response.

I am concerned because several of the rules which triggered seem to have
confused this message with a message sent by MSMail/Outlook. See
SpamAssassin summary below.

How much of the mail headers is constructed by SquirrelMail?

Is it the case that this could negatively impact other SquirrelMail users
as well?

Is anybody familiar enough with SpamAssassin to help me figure out why
these rules triggered?

Is there a potential conflict/negative side-effect between the
SquirrelMail and SpamAssassin?

I'll be glad to assist in figuring out what the issues are, but need some
guidance.

I just received notification that a message I sent was identified by
SpamAssasin as "probable-spam".
I am not familiar with SpamAssasin and would appreciate assistance in
figuring out why?

I spent some time on spamassasin.org and didn't make much progress.
Didn't know how to interpret the rules/scoring and why I got hit. Sorry.

Configuration is squirrelmail 1.2.7 on RedHat 7.3.
The system is only used by my family, and I believe (hope) it to be
quite clean.

Would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me interpret the
scoring/rule system so that I could understand why I got whacked.

In particular, I don't understand why there are so many references to
MSMail and Outlook. Perhaps I need to tell the SquirrelMail guys to
tweak something regarding user agent.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

I just wanted to let you know that spamassassin says this about your
mail... some people may not receive your messages.
