The highest Spam score !!!

because it matched the GTUBE test which has a +1000 score.

GTUBE is a really bizarre fairly long case-sensitive string that is used as
a Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email. It's used by SpamAssassin the
same way the EICAR test file is used to test a virus scanner.


Was this actually an innocuous mail? or was someone discussing the GTUBE
string or purposefully sending a GTUBE email?
