Hi there! When I subscribe to any of the Gentoo mailing lists, the confirmation email I get seems to be always treated as SPAM. One example is attached, along with the result of razor-check -d. You can get your own by sending an email to gentoo-user+subscribe <at> lists.gentoo.org. I also ran razor-check on another server which I did not configure, just to make sure it is no stupid error on my side. How can this happen? Please excuse my ignorance - I am a happy razor user for years, but did not dig into details of how it works. I just installed it and it seemed to work just fine. I was under the impression that it only reports mails that have been reported by a human as SPAM - well, mails that have the same hash as such a mail, but those hashes should be quite unique I guess. But these confirmation mails have my email address in the body, so noone could possibly have reported this as SPAM. And now that I checked the logs, I found another mail from today that is a false positive. It came from the Fedora mailing list, and a reply to it was also marked as SPAM. I also attached those mails. So, what's wrong with these mails? Wonko
