Hello,

For the past few days, I've had a problem with the scores of certain emails in my domain. No matter how much I search, I can't see a solution.

All emails go through well (via SMTP) but on 2 addresses the score is amazing while on the others the score is normal.

The USER_IN_WHITELIST in the email header indicates that the email address (or domain) of the sender is white listed (also called welcome list). Because of that it gets a negative spam score.

More information on the SpamAssasin black and whitelist in Plesk can be found here: SpamAssassin Spam Filter

A big thank you for your reply ! I was so surprised by the number that I didn't see the minus sign!
