Hello all....

I have a few clients that receive email from Asia quite a bit, and they 
are legitimate emails with no spam, just business talk in them... but 
they get tagged as spam.... now i know it gives the reason in the logs, 
but how do i actually tell what the reason was to the user?
Here is a sample

mail.log.0:Apr  4 09:43:32 stewy MailScanner[4249]: Message 
1BB94C2C6.78A0C from 211.45.20.46 (hanzulux at unitel.co.kr) to 
thedomainname.com is spam, SpamAssassin (score=7.208, required 4, 
BAYES_80 2.00, DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE 0.20, DNS_FROM_RFC_POST 1.71, 
FROM_BLANK_NAME 1.53, HTML_FONT_FACE_BAD 0.16, HTML_MESSAGE 0.00, 
NO_REAL_NAME 0.96, SARE_FROM_NONAME 0.65)

So ok, there the info, so do i look up each rule to see what it means? 
Is ther ean table or an easy way to let a client know why??

Also i have a friend of mine that has his own mail server and he says he 
does a white list by adding to the white list any email address that the 
server sends email to...  IE any of his clients that send email via that 
server to a person, that email is put itn the white list 
automatically... is this safe? is it possible?



Thanks and have a great day!
