+ <strong>If you have received a mail modified by something called 'SpamAssassin',
+ PLEASE READ THIS PAGE IN FULL.</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>In most cases when this happens, it means that the company who set up your
+ web site has installed the software on their servers. They should have told
+ you, but they didn't. If you contact them, they can disable it.</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Nobody in the SpamAssassin development team can do this, ONLY your ISP or
+ web hosting company can -- we have no access to their mail systems to change
+ whether your mail is filtered.</strong>

+ <a name="Why_Are_You_Spamming_Me" id="Why_Are_You_Spamming_Me"><h2>Why Are You Spamming Me?</h2></a><p>
+ If you are seeing SpamAssassin data in the mail message, then this
+ indicates that <em>somebody</em> at your ISP, your web hosting company, your
+ employers, etc. has set up a mail filter which detects spam and adds
+ these markings so that you can filter it more easily, should you wish to.
+
+ </p>
+ <a name="Why_was_the_e_mail_altered" id="Why_was_the_e_mail_altered"><h2>Why was the e-mail altered?</h2></a><p>
+ Your system administrator or ISP has implemented a policy to block "spam"
+ (also known as unsolicited commercial e-mail). Each incoming e-mail is scanned
+ for signs that it may be "spam", and if it is determined that it's likely to
+ be spam, it is altered to clearly reflect this, so that you can decide
+ whether to delete or keep it.
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you have concerns about the scanning policy, please talk to your system
+ administrator or ISP support desk.
+

+ <a name="Who_are_you_and_what_are_you_doing_to_my_mail" id="Who_are_you_and_what_are_you_doing_to_my_mail"><h2>Who are you and what are you doing to my mail?</h2></a><p>
+ We are the writers of this software -- we did not install it on your system.
+ As a result, you need to talk to your system administrator or ISP, not us.
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Although we wrote the program, it is your system administrator who chose to use
+ it, and we have <em>absolutely no control</em> over the filtering rules set up by
+ the administrator.
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We strongly urge ISPs installing the product to notify their users when
+ it's installed, and to not enable it by default -- but many seem to ignore
+ this advice. We agree, that's totally unprofessional. :(
+
+ </p>
+ <a name="This_Is_The_First_I_ve_Heard_About_It" id="This_Is_The_First_I_ve_Heard_About_It"><h2>This Is The First I've Heard About It!</h2></a><p>
+ <strong>You should have been informed that this was going to happen.</strong> We plaster
+ this message all over our installation manuals, website, etc. However, we
+ <em>still</em> receive reports from people whose first contact with SpamAssassin is
+ when it suddenly appears in their mail -- which indicates that whoever
+ installed it on their mail systems <em>never bothered</em> to tell them about it.
+ Unsurprisingly, we think this is a little unprofessional.
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Typically the person to contact is your ISP's tech support department,
+ your web hosting company's tech support department, or your systems
+ administrator.

+ Recently, we've noticed a lot of companies who host websites, set up
+ SpamAssassin on those accounts. This means that all mail traffic
+ sent to addresses at that website are filtered.
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Even though the ISP that you connect to the internet through, does not know
+ anything about it, the <em>website hosting ISP</em> is another possibility.
+
+ </p>
+ <a name="But_The_Message_Was_Not_Spam" id="But_The_Message_Was_Not_Spam"><h2>But The Message Was Not Spam!</h2></a><p>
+ Sometimes SpamAssassin(tm) will get a "false positive", resulting in tagged
+ mails which are not actually spam at all. Since spammers don't usually
+ highlight the fact that their mail is unwanted, unsolicited ads, SpamAssassin
+ has to try to work it out -- and it's not always easy to do.
+
+ </p>
+ <a name="But_I_Don_t_Get_Much_Spam" id="But_I_Don_t_Get_Much_Spam"><h2>But I Don't Get Much Spam!</h2></a><p>
+ Count yourself lucky, then! The longer your email address stays valid,
+ the more spam you will get.
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It may not be a problem for you -- yet -- but others find it very frustrating.
+ Some recent research has indicated that several ISPs find their incoming mail
+ is between 40% and 80% spam, overall; and quite a few old-timers who've used
+ the same address for years, get over 30 spams a day.
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you don't get much spam, you probably find SpamAssassin more annoying than
+ useful. In this case, see <em>How Can I Turn It Off?</em>, below.
+
+ </p>
+ <a name="How_Can_I_Turn_It_Off" id="How_Can_I_Turn_It_Off"><h2>How Can I Turn It Off?</h2></a><p>
+ You have two options. Firstly, SpamAssassin can be made a lot less sensitive.
+ To do this, ask your systems administrator or ISP's helpdesk to "increase the
+ SpamAssassin threshold".
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Alternatively, if you just want all your mail, unfiltered, ask your systems
+ administrator or ISP's helpdesk to "add your address to the whitelist_to
+ list".
