Hello All, My name is Maxim Masiutin, from Ritlabs, we develop The Bat! e-mail client program.
Malte S. Stretz have contacted me several years ago about the SpamAssassin rules related to The Bat! program, particularly REPTO_OVERQUOTE_THEBAT, but he no longer replies to my e-mails. I would like to raise an issue that SUBJ_RE_NUM raises false positives. It checks the number in “Re” in subject, and if there is a number, e.g. “Re[5]: Antivirus” and no “X-Mailer: The Bat!” header, it adds score to the message. In The Bat!, both “Re numbering” and “X-Mailer” options are configurable in the program interface, and the user is able to independently switch them on and off, and these options did exist in the very first versions of The Bat! You can contact me about the SpamAssassin rules related to The Bat! e-mail client, I, knowing the internals of this e-mail program, can provide the developers of SpamAssassin rules with the exact algorithms which should not give false positives. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin mailto:m...@ritlabs.com
