Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: normal

With spamassassin 3.0.0, I got such result:


 0.1 RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL      RBL: Envoyé directement depuis une adresse IP 
dynamique
                            [151.24.72.136 listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]
 1.7 RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL      RBL: NJABL: Envoyé depuis une adresse IP dynamique
                            [151.24.72.136 listed in combined.njabl.org]


While it was effectively a spam caught, DUL/Dynamic IP scoring (1.7) is quite 
problematic. 
        
        - The score increase with each DNSbl you use, even if they use the
        exact same source
        - Why the hell freedom to run a server should not be given to someone
        behind dynamic IP? Restricting users freedom is a very sensitive issue,
        I do not think software shipped by Debian by default should 
        criminalize dynamic IP users by assuming they are guilty of something.

So, would it be possible to have the DUL test deactivated by default, or with a 
score less important (0.1 is fine)? It is good that a piece of software like 
spamassassin get distributed widely. Spam will be less and less commercially 
interesting. But it should not cost end users freedom to run a server, don't 
you agree?

People that run DUL DNSbl warn users about DUL list usage. The problem here is 
that someone may filter DUL users without even noticing it, just like if it 
were an absolutely reliable anti-spam criterion.

Regards,
