      1. Enable email on your moodle (you may find divertallemailsto header useful for this)
      2. In a course with at least one student
      3. Create a news forum post as admin, check the mail now box
      4. Run admin/cron.php
      5. You should see the email being sent in log, e.g.:

        Processing module function forum_cron ...Processing user 3
        Sending post 1: Test topic
        Processing user 2
        Sending post 1: Test topic
        2 users were sent post 1, 'Test topic'

      6. Check your email and examine the headers, ensure they are well formed message id (ending with @yourmoodle) (NOTE: I found google mail rewrote the old message id, which was broken)

      Forum posts have a message-ID, that does not comply with RFC-2822 and are therefore marked as SPAM messages. The message-Id now looks like this:

      18543f025334017e9c1714c1515ece93c1c34efa8633de38535522f916a6eebe

      should look like:

      18543f025334017e9c1714c1515ece93c1c34efa8633de38535522f916a6eebe@example.com

      detailed SPAM analysis (last line is the important line):

      0.2 EH_s_llwords Subject most used spammail words w(eduhi)
      0.4 EH_u_ulnumber URI: unliked number in uri (eduhi)

      To reproduce you have to use SpamAssassin 3.2.5

      Message-Id: <18543f025334017e9c1714c1515ece93c1c34efa8633de38535522f916a6eebe>
      X-Spam-Flag: YES
      X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.5 (2008-06-10) on mailgate3.eduhi.at
      X-Spam-Level: *******
      X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=7.3 required=5.8 tests=EH_f_whitelist5,EH_s_llwords,
      EH_u_shortdir,EH_u_shortdir2,EH_u_ulnumber,HTML_MESSAGE,INVALID_MSGID,
      MIME_QP_LONG_LINE,RDNS_NONE,SARE_MSGID_LONG45,SARE_MSGID_LONG50 autolearn=no
      version=3.2.5

      Another thing is, that also the long message ID increases the SPAM-level, but not that much as the invalid messageID

      Solution: add @wwwroot (without http) to the message ID, or the SMTP-server address, also possible generate a little shorter message IDs
