As I said, it's based on the assumption that MSFT codes to standards, i.e.
their tools *will* put a space between the name part and the address part,
where spammers are sloppy.
If that assumption no longer holds true (or, no longer holds true in the
majority of cases) then the rule should either have its limit reduced (as
I've done) or is no longer useful. Masscheck results seem to indicate it
*does* still have value.

where is the exception for that? .-)
and if you add it so what? even more bloat...
I'm not too worried about adding metas, they are dirt cheap compared to
regular expressions.

Look at the people at the top of both efforts. Linus Torvalds is a
university graduate with a CS degree. Bill Gates is a university
dropout who bragged about dumpster-diving and using other peoples'
garbage code as the basis for his code. Maybe that has something to
do with the difference in quality/security between Linux and
Windows. -- anytwofiveelevenis on Y! SCOX
