spam filtering errors

Hi,

Since the latest update of the mailing list server, a lot of mails  
sent to this list are wrongly classified as spam by CodeWeavers' mail  
server. I've already sent a mail about this to postmaster at codeweavers.com 
  several months ago, but got no reply and nothing appears to have  
changed.

It seems that the main culprit is the "SINGLE_HEADER_3K" spamassassin  
check, in combination with a very low spam score threshold (1.0).  
Below is an example from Stefan Dösinger's last mail (titled "dpnet  
patches").

Content preview:  Hi Alistair, A while ago I promised to have a closer  
look
   at your dpnet patches. ItXs a bit delayed, but here are some  
comments. How
    serious are you about dplay? Do you intend to do more work towards  
implementing
    it, or is that just wishful thinking on my part? [...]
