SpamAssassin Irony
I just re-enabled SpamAssassin on my server after a couple issues required turning it off for about a day, and it immediately flagged its very own ‘now enabled’ email notification as spam:
Received: from localhost by box584.bluehost.com with SpamAssassin (version 3.3.0); Thu, 24 Mar 2011 09:28:54 -0600 From: "Spam Assassin" <spamassassin@localhost> Subject: ***SPAM*** X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.0 (2010-01-18) on box584.bluehost.com X-Spam-Flag: YES X-Spam-Level: ***** X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.5 required=2.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_40,FH_FROMEML_NOTLD, MISSING_DATE,MISSING_HEADERS,MISSING_MID,MISSING_SUBJECT,NO_HEADERS_MESSAGE, NO_RECEIVED,NO_RELAYS shortcircuit=no autolearn=no version=3.3.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------=_4D8B6336.C4060404" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------------=_4D8B6336.C4060404 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Spam detection software, running on the system "box584.bluehost.com", has identified this incoming email as possible spam.

The irony. It burns.
