          Priority: P2
            Bug ID: 6864
          Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
           Summary: Excessive score (6.1) from FROM_MISSP_URI,
                    FROM_MISSP_EH_MATCH, TO_NO_BRKTS_FROM_MSSP
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: mark.marti...@ijs.si
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
         Component: Rules
           Product: Spamassassin

Today I was investigating a false positive for a mail from our
Japanese research colleagues at KEK.jp. It turns out that the following
perfectly valid From line caused a collection of 6.1 score points
solely because there is no (optional) space between a display name
and the address:

From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?VXNlciBTdXBwb3J0IFN5c3RlbS4=?=<users...@ml.post.kek.jp>

The sample message is attached (obfuscated, stripped-off of irrelevant
content, the set of rule hits is kept unchanged).

 pts rule name              description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
 0.5 RELAY_JP               Relayed through Japan
-0.1 RP_MATCHES_RCVD        Envelope sender domain matches handover relay
domain
 1.1 DCC_CHECK              Detected as bulk mail by DCC (dcc-servers.net)
-1.9 BAYES_00               BODY: Bayes spam probability is 0 to 1%
                            [score: 0.0000]
 1.0 FROM_EXCESS_BASE64     From: base64 encoded unnecessarily
 1.5 TO_NO_BRKTS_FROM_MSSP  Multiple formatting errors
 2.5 FROM_MISSP_EH_MATCH    From misspaced, matches envelope
 2.1 FROM_MISSP_URI         From misspaced, has URI
-0.2 AWL                    AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list

I think the score for a set of rules FROM_MISSP_EH_MATCH, FROM_MISSP_URI
and TO_NO_BRKTS_FROM_MSSP should be capped - a single unusual (but valid)
formatting in a From header field should not collect 6.1 points.
