I don't know why even some simple text messages are bounced back as SPAMs from our email server?. We installed Spamassassin 2.42-3. Clients are complaining abt keep getting bounced emails. We are not receiving them. I am new to this.
I attached one of the bounced email.

o What OS
Redhat Linux 7.1
o Where your copy of SpamAssassin came from
the client emailed to us and I just posted here
o What xx.yy.zzz.net [IP Address] is
I put xx.yy.zz.net and [IP address] to protect web address and actual IP address.
o Whether SpamAssassin is being run stand-alone or from something like MIMEdefang, MailScanner, etc.
It is run with sendmail and SpamAssassin is run as Mail scanner.
Does it help?
> the client emailed to us and I just posted here
I presume you mean the message. I'm interested in where you downloaded the SpamAssassin package from.
> I put xx.yy.zz.net and [IP address] to protect web address and actual IP address.
I realize that's why you hid the data, but do do any checking on why SpamAssassin rejected the message we have to know what the real data is for the source of the message. Note that releasing that data doesn't expose the client's email address, only the IP of the system they are sending the email from. So there's no real risk.
Hai jlevie,
>I'm interested in where you downloaded the SpamAssassin package from.
The person who worked before me did all the installation. I don't know from where he downloaded. I very much hope that he got it from reliable source - spamassassin.org. It is working good. Only thing is, some geniune messages are returned back as SPAMs.
>I realize that's why you hid the data, but do do any checking ......................
See if the following data help you. I used clientDomain and ourDomain for more readability. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks,
Hai jlevie,
Thanks.
I agreed that mail server at charter.net objected to the message. Some clients (who tried to sent email to us) from Italy said that their email returned back to them. Is there anything that I need to configure from my side so that geniune messages (not SPAMS) gets through Spamassassin?

It is hard to say anything intelligent about this without knowing:
o What OS
o Where your copy of SpamAssassin came from
o What xx.yy.zzz.net [IP Address] is
o Whether SpamAssassin is being run stand-alone or from something like MIMEdefang, MailScanner, etc.
I'd hazard a guess, and it is only that at this point, that xx.yy.zzz.net is black listed somewhere and SpamAssassin is doing RBL checks.
