Re: Spammer in white list aka USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL

David, 

I tried to send the original email to the email address you requested. But
your mail hoster blocks (554 5.7.1) my TLDs. And an email to your postmaster
to activate my TLD/domain has never been replied.

Regards
Jan

There is no default score for def_whitelist_auth, it's a shorthand
for separate spf and dkim entries, and many def_whitelist_auth
matches pick-up -7.5 for both.

simpliv.com should have picked-up -15 point, but the OP appears to have
disabled or broken DKIM in SA as there isn't even DKIM_SIGNED.

Default score for def_whitelist_auth is -7.5.

It's removed in SVN so it should get taken out tomorrow night as long as 
the rules promotion is working.

That just means it's a known source of email and not a zombie or IP
address controlled by an outright spammer. The level of trust is
described as 'none', that's a lower level than some freemail servers.

The DKIM signing domain isn't listed at all  on dkimwl.

The Invaluement lists are marketed as low-FP. There's a huge difference
between being good enough to stay out of Invaluement and being good
enough for whitelisting at the -15 point level.

From it's website simpliv.com appears to be a company that markets
online training provided by third-party trainers. In that situation 
simpliv should be managing the lists and enforcing opt-in.

I meant to say "it's NOT listed" in IVM which is a very accurate RBL.

129.41.222.236 has a senderscore.org score of 94 currently and is listed 
in dnswl.org as score but do not block outright.  More importantly, it's 
listed in Invaluement (IVM or IVM24):

http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/129.41.222.236.html

The email headers that were posted in pastebein.com are from mass 
marketer that has a valid unsubscribe header/link.

I wouldn't classify that email as spam unless there were multiple 
reports of them not honoring the unsubscribe or not handling abuse 
reports.  Every platform has the occassional bad customer that needs to 
be kicked off so most RBLs (good ones anyway) will allow for a small 
amount of UCE before hitting the threshold to be listed/blocked.

I doesn't really matter, you posted a link to pastebin on the list.

It passed SPF with the envelope domain bounce.comm06.simpliv.com
which matches:

def_whitelist_auth *@*.simpliv.com
