Interesting -- it appears that spamassassin doesn't like .BIZ domains and score 0.8 points:

Spam detection software, running on the system "localhost.localdomain", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or block
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.

The original message was not completely plain text, and may be unsafe to

or confirm that your address can receive spam. If you wish to view
it, it may be safer to save it to a file and open it with an editor.

Thought I'd get at least one comment on this? 0.8 points just because it contains a .biz URL? Any spam gurus here?
