Still, your other suggestion is a good one -- if these rules cause false positives for Andy, he could lower their scores so they don't push the Washington Post emails over the edge. Those rules still appear in http://www.spamassassin.org/tests.html, which I believe somewhat reflects the 3.0 development test set at this time. Andy, you should probably also check bugzilla, search for these rule names, and see if there's a bug submitted for these types of false positives. If so, upload a couple of copies of your false positives to it. If not, create a new bug and upload. That should get your emails added to the dev corpus in time for them to be taken into account during the next scoring session, so 3.0 will avoid this problem. If for some reason you can't work through bugzilla, forward a couple of those false positives to me as attachments in a zip file (my email hosts won't accept eml attachments), and I'll get them to the devs. Thanks. FYI, I've just signed up for a couple of Washington Post newsletters myself, so I may have my own examples in a few days. (It's been a long time since I've had to do any work on false positives.)
