Hello, Dev!
I love spamassasin, but I hate this:
X-Spam-Status: SpamAssassin Failed
I look to the log file, to the debug, soo at all, but I can`t find
anything!
What can give this error?
I ask about this error in users list, but...

Ok, here's the URL for the software that comes from:
http://www.tffenterprises.com/cgpsa/
This is now definitely not an issue for the sa-dev mailing list. Any
further discussion should be taken back to the sa-users list, or contact
the author of the software or the admins who are running it on their
site regarding any specific problems with it.
Thank you Nico for the pointer to the source of that header.

While searching for it I stumbled about the following c source which adds exactly that header:
http://news.demos.su/soft/spamprep.c
It has obviously something to do with Communigate Pro.

It does not appear anywhere within the SpamAssassin source code.
Googling for that exact header showed up a number of messages with it,
all spam. At first I thought it must be a fake header added by some
spammers to try to fool SpamAssassin, but it always appears at the top
of the mail, after an Envelope-To header and before the first Received
header. I don't see how a spammer could place a header there.
Check with a sysadmin for the mail server from which you receive mail to
see if they add that header and why.
It might make a good spam sign... Does anyone here see the header in
corpus mail?
