A misclassified message caused me to look at the FRT_OPPORTUN1 and
FRT_OPPORTUN2 rules.  I think they are much too aggressive.  Here is
the summary from a false positive.

Content analysis details:   (5.4 points, 5.0 required)

 pts rule name              description

 1.6 RCVD_IN_NJABL_PROXY    RBL: NJABL: sender is an open proxy

Wow!  If someone sends a message and misspells oppportunity by using
three letter p's instead of two then they get tagged for 3.7 points!
I think that is way too agressive.  Scan this message to observe the
problem.

FRT_OPPORTUN1 and FRT_OPPORTUN2 add up to 3.7 points.  Let's look at
those rules.

  body FRT_OPPORTUN1 /<inter SP2><post P2>(?!opportun)<O><P><P><O><R><T><U><N>/I
  body FRT_OPPORTUN2 /<inter W0><post P2>(?!opportun)<O><P><P><O><R><T><U><N>/I

Huh?  How are those rules matching?  I am missing something.  That
can't the right rule that is being hit here.  Can someone educate me
as to what is happening here?

I am running spamassassin 3.2.1 with a current sa-update.

Thanks
Bob
