[MlMt] How is span score computed?

[William Allen]

Just to circle back on this, I can confirm that having put the sender’s address into my mailbox provider’s contacts list the spam score is now 0.0 and the mail shows up in my inbox.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Bill

Just looking at the mailings I can’t see any difference. Is there any way to understand what is triggering a score for a particular piece of mail? Likewise, is there a way to override the filter for a particular sender?

SOME also claim that if you add the sender to an address book linked to their mail system (such as Google, iCloud, or Exchange Online/MS365) it will prevent future mail from being labeled Spam.
