What is the procedure to have a rule score reviewed?
I have been looking over the scoring for version 3.1.x at
http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_1_x.html
and think that a score of 1.6 is high for the DEAR_SOMETHING rule. I
know that our customer support emails have the first line as "Dear
<customer's name>...". It would seem to me that any business that is
trying to sound professional would have emails that hit this rule.
I could be wrong on this as i am not much of a regex expert, but it
doesnt appear that this rule will trigger on normal things like "Dear Jim"
checking 20_phrases.cf shows:
body DEAR_FRIEND /^\s*Dear Friend\b/i
describe DEAR_FRIEND Dear Friend? That's not very dear!
body DEAR_SOMETHING /\bDear
(?:IT\W|Internet|candidate|sirs?|madam|investor|travell?er|car
shopper|web)\b/i
describe DEAR_SOMETHING Contains 'Dear (something)'
Can someone with some more regex experience confirm this?
-Jim
