Hi Stefan,

No, I do not, aside from the implicit starting point: do not send spam. 
Make sure every recipient is an individual who has asked for your email 
and wants it, to the greatest degree possible. If you cannot do that, 
nothing anyone can tell you will fix your deliverability. SpamAssassin 
is not designed to allow "legitimate" bulk unsolicited email. Users who 
want that should whitelist the spammers of whom they approve and avoid 
showing it to SA.

Relevant to avoiding having your email seen as spam by SpamAssassin, 
sending less spam-like email and finding a new and better domain name 
are the full extent of my deliverability advice. I understand that these 
recommendations are not easily implemented for an established 
organization.

Also, please keep all SA discussion on-list. I am unable to provide 
private consultation of any sort.
