After reviewing Bug 8278
(https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=8278,) the
conversations here, what we have documented as policy, and feedback
from masscheck contributors, I have set all 3 Validity-related rule
scores to 0 and commented their "BLOCKED" rules, assuring no more
queries from anyone who does not affirmatively wish to do so.
I am still receiving errors, I guess because:
72_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED 0.001 0.001
0.001 0.001
72_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL_BLOCKED 0.001 0.001
0.001 0.001
72_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE_BLOCKED 0.001 0.001
0.001 0.001
That's odd... Because I also see:
50_scores.cf:#score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE_BLOCKED 0.001
50_scores.cf:#score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED 0.001
50_scores.cf:#score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL_BLOCKED 0.001
Shouldn't these be deactivated as well?
Yes, and I'm not sure why they are popping back into existence.
