avast marked my email as spam
« on: November 15, 2004, 10:45:57 PM »
Avast marked an important email that I wanted as spam. Avast allowed the headers to come through to me as show below.

X-Spam-Score:
(****) 4.7
X-Spam-Report:
Content analysis details: (4.7 points, 3.0 required) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- ------------------------------------------- 3.5 BAYES_99 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 99 to 100% [score: 0.9999] 1.2 FORGED_YAHOO_RCVD 'From' yahoo.com does not match 'Received' headers
X-Scanned-By:
MIMEDefang 2.42
X-Antivirus:
avast! (VPS 0446-2, 11/11/2004), Inbound message
X-Antivirus-Status:
Clean

My question is what did Avast do with my email. Where did Avast put my email and how can I find it and get it back?

Thank you.

avast! didn't do that. avast! is antivirus, not antispam tool...  ;)

Spam is mentioned in X-spam section if you can see... X-Antivirus section is where avast is mentioned. Check your antispam program or contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and check with them why your e-mails are treated as SPAM.

Yahoo uses its own spam filter.
