The ".date" TLD just started bombarding my inbox...

It's pretty common for the author domain to be in the body of an
email and/or a reply-to header. With "parse_dkim_uris 1", URI_RARE_TLD
can also come from an author DKIM signature.

I don't think it's sensible to score them this way, it's a lottery
between conservative and full poison pill.

True, the scoring should be site-specific. Poison pill works *for me*, because my volume is low and I quarantine everything SA rejects for review (and inclusion in my masscheck corpora).

In the future I'll omit the score lines when I post updated REs. Everybody: take the scores for these rules (same as the scores for *any* rules posted to the list) with a grain of salt.

I haven't look into this in
detail, but I'd probably go for something like:

meta  ADDR_RARE_TLD     __REPTO_RARE_TLD || __FROM_RARE_TLD

meta  URI_RARE_TLD      __URI_RARE_TLD && !ADDR_RARE_TLD

a single meta rule might do, but people seem to be less conservative
about using new TLDs on websites, and there's an additional risk of URI
FPs from typos.

Those are certainly possibilities.
