Discussion about usage and installation of the Apache HTTP server

My message to this list is being blocked as "SPAM"

The returned message:

---------------
The mail system

<users <at> httpd.apache.org>: host mx1.us.apache.org[140.211.11.136] said:
552 spam
    score (6.6) exceeded threshold
    (FROM_12LTRDOM,SPF_HELO_PASS,SPF_PASS,URI_OBFU_WWW (in reply to end
of DATA
    command)
---------------

There's nothing "spammy" about the message, so one is left to assume
that the primary cause is the domain portion of my email address. A bit
aggressive on Apache's part.

Any suggestions as to how I might communicate with this list going forward?

Thanks,

-Ben

Do you have the sended original message?
(you can send it to me and I will check)

I assume, you where hit by "URI_OBFU_WWW" which absolutely sick  because
this filter has hit me more then 30 times!  I was not  even  to  post  a
question to rewite rules.  :-S

I recommend mailing from a different domain name. "12 letter domain" is still considered to be a significant indicator by the makers of spamassassin.

I still can't get the original message through. The SPAM score is always
6.6, so the criteria by which my message is being scored is not changing.

It's somewhat humorous that talking about Apache will cause a message
sent to the Apache mailing list to be classified as SPAM and ultimately
rejected.

Has this not happened to anyone else? Should I shorten my message? Send
it in chunks? Stand on my head while I type?

Thanks for any hints...

-Ben
