Hiya Mark,

For what it's worth, _your_ messages look like spam.

Here's the header lines added to your message by my ISP:

X-RBL-Warning: HELOBOGUS: Domain MAIN has no MX or A records.
X-RBL-Warning: REVDNS: This E-mail was sent from a MUA/MTA 216.115.228.239 with no reverse DNS entry.
X-RBL-Warning: SPAMHEADERS: This E-mail has headers consistent with spam [4000120e].
X-RBL-Warning: WEIGHT10: Weight of 13 reaches or exceeds the limit of 10.
X-Declude-Sender: marka@enviropolicy.com [216.115.228.239]
X-Note: This E-mail was scanned by Declude JunkMail (www.declude.com) for spam.

Other people may get different results since each person's
ISP is probably using different (or no) Junk Mail flagging.

Anyway, this is a good example of why a mail server should
*NOT* reject any messages. If mine did, I would never have
seen your message.

These are good categories, thanks. But I don't know what
they are. Can you enlighten me? Or, you can show up at
the Saturday meeting and embarrass the heck out of me by
bringing up things I know nothing about.
