Incog.

You're not missing anything exciting I get the odd email trying to flog me something. There's an unsubscribe link so I imagine you can subscribe

Spampal has blacklists. The regex filtering catches those emails whose sending server(s) haven't made it onto a blacklist yet.

That email scored double the threshold, which, as spam emails go, is very high. I'd argue that if an "newsletter" or advertising email is legit it should score very low. Look at some of the points it acquired - X-RegEx: [50.0] INVALID_HTML_NOT_CORRECT_BODY_LINK HTML Link ohne korrekten HTML Body Invalid hyperlinks in a legit email? BTW - the guy that wrote the regex filter is German and the rules file hasn't been entirely translated to English

I don't read any of the advertising (they never are newsletters - no news in them) I receive. There seems to be this assumption that if you buy one service or product from us you will also want other services/products from us but you don't know that - yet Well I know exactly what I want thankyou very much.

Here's the headers for a proper newsletter that I do want:

X-RegEx-Score: 50.2
X-RegEx: [100.0] Body: EMail ohne persÃÃâ€*’¶nlic he Anrede
X-RegEx: [-49.8] USER_AGENT_MOZILLA_UA User-Agent header indicates a non-spam MUA (Mozilla)
X-RegEx: [0.0] X_ACCEPT_LANG Has a X-Accept-Language header
X-SpamPal: PASS
