I'm having more and more problems with the HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_* set of rules recently generating false positives.

Plenty of business emails will include a logo at the bottom - and not everybody is a graphics expert to make their logo a tiny optimised gif or png - so some of these are slightly bigger than they should be.

However, this seems to be sufficiently wide spread. Also, many business emails can be just a few words reply - so the ratio of words to images triggers the filter in SA. Could the scores on HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_* set of rules be lowered a bit - or is there anything else to be done - aside from educating all the internet on optimising logos in the email signatures? :-)

those have lower scorew with BAYES and network rules enabled.
configure BAYES and enable netowrk rules...

Hi. I have BAYES enabled and DNSBL's enabled (I assume that's what you mean by network rules?). I still think that a score of 1.6 is quite a lot, considering that so many emails nowadays contain either an embedded logo in the signature, with just a few words (in a quick email reply, for example), or even images inserted, instead of attached to the email. Please see below an example of a SA report:

-0.2 RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2      RBL: Average reputation (+2)

you've changed SA default scores and now complain about one which hasn't been touched as cause for FPs?

compare the defaults with yours...
score PYZOR_CHECK 0 1.985 0 1.392 # n=0 n=2
score BAYES_50  0  0  2.0    0.8

hmmmm.... maybe you should rethink those changes.
