Filter test of a newsletter before the distribution

Spam filters are always good for surprises. Out of this reason, send first always the newsletter to Yourself and check what the email filter tells about it.

Rephrase when the points are near the filter limit

Some $ signs brought my newsletter from May 9th 1.2 SpamAssasin points more than for my newsletter from May 25th. Some judgments of this sort more, and the message is stoped by the filter.

With 1.2 points, it was on the secure side. At 3 points, I would start to rephrase my newsletter to have less points. For example to delete the US$ sign and to give the sums in EUR.
