Recently I missed a Frood bid because it got a value of 3.0 on Spam Assassin, and I have that level defined as spam (normally you need a level of 5.0 or so).
I emailed the Frood developer to let them know about this. If they change the email that the program sends, they should be able to avoid this.
Frood hangs out around here, he should see your message.
I don’t know how I could modify the e-mail to make it look less spammy. Sorry.
One popular technique is to put something in the message that looks like non-spam. I think run-on sentences are supposedly good or something.
Like
“Roberta pulled out her broom and mop, thinking that it was time for a cleaning; it had been many days since the leaves had been swept from the doorstep, and there was quite an accumulation of material that had been gathering over the past six or seven days.”
(I was originally going to post something far more . . . exciting. But . . . exciting stuff often triggers spam filters).
