There's abunch of rules which are nciely used in Metas. I don't think its a good
idea to remove them totally. Maybe keep in separate file and score them 0.01

Stuff like HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_06 come in very handy agains stock spams which
combined with *for example*  __ANY_OUTLOOK_MUA and some Msg-Id rule.

here's some examples I have in production:

META_OENOBDARY      (__ANY_OUTLOOK_MUA && MIME_MISSING_BOUNDARY) ยจ#would stop
working if you remove MIME_MISSING_BOUNDARY

META_ULESSBIZ        (BIZ_TLD && !__ANY_OUTLOOK_MUA && __HAS_URI &&
__HAS_X_MAILER!) # would be rendered useless without BIZ_TLD

I doubt I'm the only one who uses stuff like this to add the extra point to a
final score.

If there's any chance of keepigng these rules, I'd work my way thru the list and
a large collection of Metas and check if & what is worth keeping.

Alex
