Get a supervisor, tell them it's a LISTSERV mailing list. get him to whitelist the originating IP address.
Trust me I am on two..
Reason it get's tagged as spam is that they must be using Reverse DNS to make sure that xxxx.com of the originator email address match up to the IP address of the LISTSERV
So the mail list is sent from listserv sitting on xxxx ip address; The FROM: xxxxx.com does not match up to the originating IP address via RDNS (reverse domain name service)so it get's tagged as BULK aka SPAM...
In outlook excuse you have to RIGHT CLICK then L click OPTIONS In Eudora open the email and EXPAND the header In Thunderbird pretty much the same thing
Most of this info can be accessed via the least used function key on the computer.
Normally, pine. Stuff tagged as spam is being sent to Gmail.
Full headers easy to get (I hit "h" while the email's open in pine; I click "show original" in gmail's dropdown), but I don't know which of the forty-bazillion lines to look at.
Received: from server4.freshwebmasters.com server4.freshwebmasters.com [64.191.30.235]
Received is the IP address of the originating IP port where the mail came from.
also look at the REPLY TO: in the header..
SO what you need to do is contact the geek who runs the listserv and ask his SENDING ip addresses and put this info into the hands of the receiving network admins hand and tell them to WHITELIST
Errm... remote term? I open telnet.exe. I use the dropdown to connect to my ISP. It asks for username & password. I give those. I get a prompt. I type "pine." I read email.
Tracking the owner of the listserve shouldn't be hard; it's run by airage.com. On which site I couldn't find the mailing list at all, but still, it's not a secret list or anything like that.
I'll look at a few of the IP addresses to figure out what gets through and what bounces.

How do I find the originating IP address in the tangle of full headers?

X-Originating-IP: [209.86.89.67]
Return-Path:
Authentication-Results: mta193.mail.re2.yahoo.com from=earthlink.net; domainkeys=pass (ok)
In outlook excuse you have to RIGHT CLICK then L click OPTIONS
In Eudora open the email and EXPAND the header
In Thunderbird pretty much the same thing
Most of this info can be accessed via the least used function key on the computer.

"forty-bazillion lines to look at."

Telnet -- terminal session aka remote terminal
so, you are using .nix to pine in a telnet window...
also is there a way to configure pine to allow a higher spam score on messages??
maybe...

It's doing exactly doing what I figured except
see this http://samspade.org/whois/64.18.3.148
Postini (mailing list) is causing the failure.

"airage.com ([192.168.1.62])" This IP should not be out in public
it's a private internal IP address
Your AIRAGE guy needs to fix the external routing to not reflect internal routing. This is an Automatic spam bucket.
This whole list is badly configured.

Tell airage guy to turn off exchange spam services or at least whitelist
(or local host) the stuff from postini.
