Description Justin Greene 2002-07-23 19:13:45 UTC
Spamex is a Disposable Email Address Service.  Upon creating an acocunt or 
adding a new real email address to an existing account, an email is sent to the 
provided email address to confirm that it does in fact go to the person in 
question.  SpamAssassin is scoring the message quite high and causing the 
messages to be filtered.  Is there any way to resolve this other than our 
changing our copy?

Note, a copy of the email can be received by registering for a trial account at 
the website, http://www.spamex.com

The headers are as follows SpamAssassin:

ok - just checked in some anti-FP rules for these types of msgs.
Also filed a sample message so the GA knows what to avoid next
time 'round ;)

Please unblock our email distribution emails. 

The service we use is sendgrid and the email account is cnortonnet@cnortonnet.org.
We send out a requested (Opt in) recruiting email for our non profit NortonNet.
