The rules have been modified to be less FP prone, and they've had their scores badly neutered. This is published on sa-update now.

Particularly when GmbH is a perfectly normal way to identify a corporate entity in Germany, and it's certainly no less valid than LTD. If there was something wildly abnormal and clearly spam-like about it, that would be one thing, but RSS GmbH is not in any way a "wildly abnormal" company name. Also, the combined score of these rules tended to violate some basic principles of SA anyway. (ie: tagging a message as spam simply because the domain name contains 7 consonants, with no other spam like attributes, is silly)
