Many of our newsletters are blocked by SpamAssassin. For example,
a french soccer newsletter was bounced today because SpamAssassin
determined that it contained porn. You can see the newsletter here-

I don't think that SpamAssassin is sophisticated enough to determine
the content of a message written in a foreign language.
People love and praise SpamAssassin, but I think it just arbitrarily blocks
all bulk mail.
For the record, I use the BrightMail service provided by Earthlink and it's
been doing a great job for me. It blocks most of my spam but doesn't block
any of my newsletters.
