welcome to 2014

"X-Mailer: Microsoft Windows Live Mail"

where is the exception for that? .-)

and if you add it so what? even more bloat...
But the real-world S/O shows it is a spammy indicator.  When we can, we
need to pastebin a sample to discuss this effectively.

with a LIMIT of 3.5 ????


header    RCVD_HOTMAIL    Received =~ /\.hotmail\.com/

also a sign of spamminess in our corpus
may I submit and limit  3.5?
You'd nuke instantly and call me all sorta names...
scr :)

Perhaps but my general rule is I look for a rule to have a hit of 1 to 1.5.

A meta rule combines other rules and can therefore be combined to have a
higher ceiling score.

Additionally, I am not anti-poison pills because I don't block email
using RBLs or Spam Scores so I have promoted some very high scoring
rules.  KAM.cf is evidence of that.

In the end, you are asking us to change the score of a rule without a
spample and with no evidence in ruleqa that it's warranted.

To synopsize: This appears to be an effective rule at blocking spam with
at least one theoretical FP and tweaking it is my recommended course of
action.

I love poison pill rules.. but this rule doesn't qualify. It's suicidal :)

Obviously our ham corpus is not good enough and I can hardly ask my client to supply 2 msgs which will make zero difference if the score is forced limit of 3.5
