Hi Andy,

I had the same issue with our e-mails some time ago.
I posted a message like yours, but I never got an answer ;-) I'm afraid =
this list is rather dead.

Besides this, I did some research about 'E4' (engine 4) and 'E8' (engine =
8).
One of the engines is calculating a hash on (parts of) URL's contained =
in the e-mail; the other is a calculation on certain parts of the =
e-mail.

You could add some extra verbosity in some of the perl modules to =
exactly know which URL/which parts are causing problems.

For me, after some research and some mail server reconfiguration, the =
problem disappeared:
- I disabled Razor2 checks for the outgoing e-mail flow;
- I'm "revoking" good e-mail (besides "reporting" bad e-mail).

After less than a week Razor2 works nicely again with a very low rate of =
false positives=85

If you want, you can send me a sample message via a private message.

Good luck.

Stef
