The error message:

 X-NAI-Spam-Report: 2 Rules triggered *  1.8 -- MIME_MISSING_BOUNDARY --

WTF?

Never had this message before...  The gateway didn't pickup on spoofed
senders or content. Just some weird message about Latin Alphabet and MIME
section missing boundary?


Anyone seen this before? Is this a .conf setting on my *nix mail server?

or could it be that the errors that it is reporting are actually true?

it seems strange for you to suddenly decide that this specific error
message somehow indicates the server is blocking your box. what made
you come to this wild conclusion?
