message is spam because it was sent from mailscanner...

Ok, not a problem, just a bit of irony to share.
 
I was just asked to break down why a particular message was marked as
spam, and one of the highly scored rules that triggered turned out to be
INFO_TLD ("contains a URL in the INFO top-level domain").  What URL was
it?  Why http://www.mailscanner.info, of course.  It was in the standard
MS footer.  So in effect someone else's use of mailscanner contributed
to my mailscanner tagging their mail as spam.
 
Again, not a problem, no need to tell me how to fix it, just a bit of
irony to share for a Friday afternoon. :-)
