... which shows quite clearly that DNS-lists don't necessarily help
tagging spam. (BTW you should remove osirusoft, it is down and will
report anything as being listed) Without DNS checks the message
scores -3.3.

However the way you compose your messages, by just adding the reply at

messages next to incomprehensible.

Is there something like http://learn.to/quote in English?
