Turns out that the version of Spam Assassin we’re running at BCR automatically thinks that any e-mail sent from Outlook 2003 (the version on my new laptop) is spam. Basically, since the version of SA we’re running was written before Outlook 2003 came out, it thinks that my copy of Outlook is impersonating a “real” version of Outlook (2002 or earlier.) Luckily there’s an upgrade to SA available that we’ll hopefully install shortly. I’m so glad I figured this out before hitting the road and sending e-mail that no one in the building would get unless they were paying significant attention to their junk mail folders.
