Subject: [exim] Spam mails bypassing spamassassin
Hello,

I have an issue that I can't explain. I've been received a fair amount
of the spam below. What's unusual is that it seems to bypass my acls,
spamassassin, etc. I would expect to see the SpamAssassin scores in the
headers but this just seems to be doing something to bypass that.

The only thing I note is that its sent my smtp (as oppossed to esmtp).
Would that make a difference?

I've appended the mail and the log lines below

Thanks a mil!

John

Subject: Received annoying spam from BestMoversToronto?


Received annoying spam "from us"?
We understand how it feels, but we didn't do this.
Someone very jealous is trying to bring reputation of our company down by
sending these annoying emails to you. These spammers' goal is to make you
angry and report "us" as spammers. That's why being opened we are showing
this message to you and wanted to let you know that we would never do this.
Our privacy policy actually protects you from receiving those emails. And
we have received multiple complains and we know that your are probably not
even living in Toronto.

Lastly, we would like to say that we are actively investigating the case
and you can actually help us to collect more evidences and prosecute the
offenders! Please forward the emails you receive to
abuse@???

Thank you for your time and understanding,
Real team of BestMoversToronto.ca
