Unable to find ASNSMX rule description

[Artur Dampc <sl...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm having problems finding description of a rule that is giving spam points
(1.5) to mails that arrive at a mail server I use. The rule's name is
ASNSMX. The odd thing is the people at the company that hosts the mail
server also don't have any idea what this rule is about. I would gladly
change the e-mails in proper maner so that those mails wont triger this test
but in order to do that i need to know what it does.
If it helps the techsupport of the server sent me to documentation of
SpammAssassin 3.2.x in search of a description so i guess it's the version
they are using.

Looking forward to some response.

So you're receiving the mail, not sending it. Who is scanning the mail
then, who is in charge of the mail server?

This is not a stock SA rule, it's a custom one. So whoever takes care
about the mail server, scanning your mail, is the only one who knows
what that rule is supposed to do, and can help you with it.

A quick qoogle check suggests, this is a rule that  (a) is primarily
used by some Polish folks, and  (b) based on the sender's Autonomous
System Number (ASN). So the recipient probably doesn't like the sender's
network all that much...


Anyway, there are other rules triggering as well, accounting for the
remainder of 3.5 points. That one rule alone is not much of a problem.

Err, now, are you sending or receiving the mail?
