Spamassassin and aweber

by DaleP
2 replies
Hi all,

I am running one of my aweber newsletter source html through a spamassissin checker (not the one integrated on aweber as it seem very basic and it not giving me accurate results). I am therefore using another site which is giving me detailed info... the result i am getting is as follows...

SCORE: 3.3

0.0 MISSING_MID Missing Message-Id: header
0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
1.7 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
-0.0 NO_RECEIVED Informational: message has no Received headers
1.6 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list

Now i understand what the 1.6 (AWL) line means, however im trying to figure out why im getting the 1.7. My broadcast email in aweber has an html version and text version, however aweber seems to not send the email as a multipart message? (ie. MIME text part AND html part embedded)

I basically want to ditch the 1.7 score! (reduce to 0)

Please help

Thanks

    It could be a few things...
    1. Upgrade Spamassassin to the latest version (older versions score this incorrectly)
    2. Somehow Aweber isn't sending it properly - this score means it was sent only as an HTML part in that email. A "normal" email should contain only text/plain, a good HTML mail should contain a text/plain *and* and a text/html part.

      Hi Rob

      Thanks for the reply

      How would I view the complete source email that aweber is actually sending?

      I woudl have thought that when it arrives in my inbox (in Outlook) i could simply right click view source, and i should be able to see the html MIME part as well as the plain text MIME part. All i can see though is html. SHOULD i be able to see the plain text MIME part if i right click view source? (unless Outlook is altering the email source as it arrived in Outlook and ditching the plain text MIME part ?
