Research is your friend

I have a rule in Thunderbird that tags everything that has an X-Mailer header as 'The Bat!' as spam. It's never been wrong yet. And yet a bit of research found that The Bat! is apparently a legitimate mailer. Just as Outlook gets imposted by spam bulk mailers, apparently they also impersonate The Bat!. Strangely enough, I haven't seen them use the default setting in the Advanced Mass Sender, which is 'Advanced Mass Sender'. I wonder why...

I find it ironic that this probably makes The Bat! look much more popular and Outlook less so...
