Outlook 2003 & Spam Assassin

[Tony]

Recently installed a new machine with Outlook 2003. Our
mail provider filters incoming emails for spam. All of
the emails from the Outlook 2003 machine score very high
on the spam filter and are blocked..... Our Mail provider
is using Spam Assassin.

Almost all of this persons emails are being blocked. Any
suggestions?

Thanks - Tony

Ask your mail provider to update their Spam Assassin. The Internet
Message-Id field in Outlook 2003 messages will no longer look like those in
previous versions of Outlook. Unbeknownst to us, SpamAssassin had keyed in
on the particular format previous versions of Outlook used and used it in
its rules. My understanding is that they've modified the rules to deal with
this.
