Now here's an interesting thing. I received this email twice - once sent to squirrelmail list and once sent directly to me. No problems so far, obviously the sender sent the email twice. The interesting thing is that it got picked up as SPAM by by (probably incorrectly configered) spamassassin installation (it got 4.40 points when 4 were required). Guess the thing is that spamassassin is a double edged sword that can only be as finely tuned as the person configuring it....sorry.
