Re: [Evolution] Spam error message

First. Don't reply to another message to the mailing list and just
change the subject. That doesn't make it a new message and your message
to the mailing list has been put in another thread because it still
retains all the References: header

That is your SMTP provider rejecting your mail.

No, it's not a "program problem" - something in the messages is
triggering the spam filters. Did you try googling for that error
message? Did you notice that all the reports of that error message are
from Telstra customers?

I suspect if it's only forwarded messages, and you forward them "as
attachment" and add no other content, then that's what's triggering it.

I suggest you ask on the Telstra or Bigpond forums.
