    SpamAssassin capturing mails from FormMail

    I've recently turned on SpamAssassin to deal with the spam on one of our accounts but unfortunately it is marking emails sent from a form on one of our webpages as spam. Below is SpamAssassins analysis and I was wondering if anyone had any idea's on if I can change things in order to let the emails through. SpamAssassin is set to 5 as you can see and I would prefer not to drop the sensitivity as some spams are still making it through, would prefer to raise it slightly.

    We are using FormMail Version 1.92 from Matts Script Archive. (Which has been deemed ok to use by Andrew). I dont know if changes made to FormMail or SpamAssassin would be best?????


    Content analysis details: (5.9 points, 5.0 required)

      Given the details supplied, the first thing to do is to add a Message-ID: header to the message before sending. It's been a long time since I last looked at that script (or even sent an email with PERL), but someone here should be able to help if you need it. The best Message-ID's look like this:
      Code:
      Message-ID: [email]some-long-unique-string@example.com[/email]
      Next, see if you can identify the header or other structure that SA flags as "BUGGY_CGI". Googling "BUGGY_CGI" might yield something useful.

      Alternatively, if these are your only hits on these messages, you could raise your SA threshhold to 6, or disable one or both rules in your SA user prefs file by setting a score of 0.

        I did the Google search for BUGGY_CGI. Read this message on mail-archive.com.
