The forum mailer has recently started tripping my Spamassassin rules. According to the report, the following things are "wrong":

3.5 PHP_NOVER_MUA Mail from PHP with no version number
3.3 TO_NO_BRKTS_MSFT To: misformatted and supposed Microsoft tool

Any chance this could be looked into? 😀

PHP_NOVER_MUA is a regex:

header __PHP_NOVER_MUA X-Mailer =~ /^PHP$/

The forum mail has header:

X-Mailer: PHP

I guess it wants something after the "PHP" string. The TO_NO_BRKTS_MSFT might be tripped because To: is empty? Both together are above my score of 5.0.

I wonder what has changed since from what I can see, mails are formatted like this since forever...

Thanks for the explanations.

You are right. I haven't touch that part of the forum, only some layout and bot stuff.
