Hi,
we have a customer which complains about quarantined mails which never reaches the destinations. It seems they are blocked by a sophos spam recognition system.
After asking the customer we got only the information
SCANNER[3555]: id="1001" severity="info" sys="SecureMail" sub="smtp" name="email quarantined" srcip="37.120.167.131" from="ab@source.de" to="xy@dest.de" subject="WG: Auszahlung" queueid="1lCPLV-0000vL-5P" size="18989" reason="as" extra=""
Reason as = Sophos Antispam
and that is quarantined. Nothing more.
How can we analyze what happend and get information about any mistakes we make?
Of course, we did our homework:
- No spamming from source.de, the only newsletter are christmas greetings.
- We checked our server on blacklists, the common known ones and also here with the sophos check. All green.
- The mails itself were handwritten mails to only on Post e recipient.
- Checked our servers to fullfil all requirements.
- Mail servers are several years old. IP's many months.
- SPF & DKIM fitting, dmarc currently not enforced because of a few broken 3rd party mail servers, which can't forward mails properly.
- This particular subject may be misleading, but I cant tell all of my customers to avoid any certain phrases. (it was indeed an "Auszahlung")
We never had any problems with other recepients, even gmail & co accepts the mails.
But how can we get information why sophos antispam is rejecting our mails? Or is it accepted that a few percent of valid mails are quarantied?
Thanks, Jan
