Spam Test with different clients

I have an European client which works with the Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Universities, Colleges and educational programs, a very serious and legitimate practice in the field of Education. The word is also in the name of the Organization in English, French, German and Italian (Akkreditierung, Accréditation usw.). All their Newsletters go to the Spam Folder, when Spamassassin is in use or don't eve arrive. Please create an exception for these words, if possible! Thanks in advance and best wishes.

score FUZZY_CREDIT 1.699 1.413 0.601 1.678

If everything is treated as spam then FUZZY_CREDIT is the tip of the iceberg.

When one uses commercial bulk mailers, then you always get caught in a couple of issues, but FUZZY_CREDIT definitively gives it the final blow and we cannot change the activity or the name of the company, on that matter ...

Please provide a related sample message.
A screenshot showing some application's output is not enough to warrant further investigation

I found that out of the words mentioned only "Accréditation" produced the hit as it contains "crédit".   The rule contains an exception for "é", but only if it in  IEC_8859-1, not UTF-8.

by which I mean that "crédit" along with "kredit" and "credit" is supposed to be treated as non-obfuscated.

Whether or not anyone cares about Accréditation, it's worth fixing this to prevent FPs on "crédit" in Spanish and French.
