Subject: spamassassin: TRACKER_ID test gives too many false positives for some
languages


Hi,

The TRACKER_ID regexp
/^[a-z0-9]{6,24}[-_a-z0-9]{12,36}[a-z0-9]{6,24}\s*\z/is matches
non-spammy words in the Dutch language like
"aanmerkelijk-belangregelingen". Quite likely, valid words in other
languages match too.

Since the default TRACKER_ID score is quite high ( score TRACKER_ID
2.528 3.527 3.261 3.784), this gives lots of false possitives.

You might want to disable the TRACKER_ID test in the shipped local.cf,
lower the score, or make the regexp more specific.

Thanks, Bye,
