Then you've been very lucky. I find that that combination of razor
rules hits about 50% of my spam; it would be astonishing if that
didn't come with some FPs. The frequency of FPs can be very erratic
without a lot of users to average over.

That's a gross exaggeration of the problem. With your scores you could
drop the combined scores of the razor rules to 9 points and avoid the
FPs - that's still over twice your threshold. 

If you really feel the need to score these rule such that they can't be
saved by BAYES_00 you might have a Bayes database that needs
retraining. 


However, the cause of the Razor FPs is the link that starts:

   http://bronger-jmp...

it seems that appspotDOTcom, or any sub-domain on it, causes those razor
rules to fire. Simply removing that dead-link from your signature will
prevent those FPs.
