           Summary: FH_HELO_ENDS_DOT rule is overly aggressive in
                    assigning a spam score
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://forums.cpanel.net/f43/fh_helo_ends_dot-118261.h
                    tml
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


A customer is having most of his emails that are sent out from his mail server
being marked as spam by the receiving server due the following:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.903 tagged_above=1 required=5
tests=FH_HELO_ENDS_DOT=3.02, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, MIME_HTML_ONLY=1.672,
SPF_NEUTRAL=1.21
X-Spam-Level: *****

One of the cPanel developers has weighed in on the issue in the aforementioned
URL and believes that the rule in question:

50_scores.cf:score FH_HELO_ENDS_DOT 3.599 3.020 1.395 2.308

scores matching headers far too heavily given that a FQDN technically is
supposed to end in a dot in the first place.

Has there been any discussion about this in the past? I searched SA Bugzilla
but did not come up with anything.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

Regards,
Tom Pawlowski
