It is high scoring spam alright. :-) That's not what I am worrying about. I by accident stumbled across the fact that the RBL should have hit but it did not. Some tests with other spam mails shows that it does not work for them either. I just found a mail scoring barely below the High Scoring limit which should have hit a lot of RBL-lists but did not mark any!

I am not currently drowning in Spam as everything is at least marked as Spam. But it makes me think. It _is_ a problem after all and I would like to know whether it's a problem with my setup or with SA itself. :-)
