My list of suspect mailers:
[snip]
* 9876543210^0 ^X-Mailer: The Bat
The Bat is a respected mail program. Not so long ago, "Pegasus" was
similarly blacklisted because spammers chose to use it in the same
fashion. Similarly "FoxMail" is a legit mailer (sure, you probably get a
lot of chinese spam from it, but then, it's popular in
china: <http://fox.foxmail.com.cn/english.htm>)
How many spams have you received from "Outlook" users? Would you toss that
mailer into a spam list?
FTR, my X-Mailer filter:
