|    "ADV:" being wrongly added to email Subj    |

      From: invalid@example.com              We're with an ISP that uses Positini for spam filtering. It generally works       well, but one thing I'm discovering is that somebody is adding "ADV:" to       the Subject lines of the odd message here and there, which is triggering a       global "spam" rule, and the messages are being trapped in the Quarantine.              But, once we spring the messages from the Quarantine, the message is       delivered with the "ADV:" stripped off.              The senders are swearing up and down that they are not the ones adding       "ADV:" to the Subject line themselves, and I believe them. Their messages       and Subject lines are otherwise not spammish in character, and I can see no       reason why these messages would get flagged.              Is it providers other than ours that are adding the "ADV:" string before       the message leaves their network for ours? If so, how can we prevent this       from happening?              ---------------              P.S.: A followup to the sale of my Website: It never happened, as the buyer       deemed traffic and ad revenue not worth buying it. However, he has put       Google ads up on the site, and is splitting half the revenues with me.              --       Tegger              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
