I agree that baseless discrimination is bad; however the goal here is not to punish evil country, or the people who live in them. In fact, the score of 3.0 for ROUND_THE_WORLD means that even if you happen to have one of those TLDs, you still need to be sending something spammy-looking to trigger the rule. As well as not be in someone's autowhitelist. If the default rules find you triggering too often on legitimate mail from those TLDs, then it's easier than simple to set that rule's score lower, or even to 0.0 disabling it altogether. It's great to hear that SA is increasingly being viewed as the #1 anti spam product. In some part I think that's probably due to both its effectiveness, and its flexibility. The simple fact is that in the corpus, there are 687 pieces of spam which triggered ROUND_THE_WORLD, and only 40 pieces of nonspam. Of the nonspam, only 2/40 triggered additional rules putting them over the threshold, both of which were postings to bugtraq (daniel, could you check them?) Y 5 /home/daniel/corpus/nonspam/security.bugtraq/7377 GAPPY_TEXT,ROUND_THE_WORLD Y 5 /home/daniel/corpus/nonspam/security.bugtraq/6911 GAPPY_TEXT,ROUND_THE_WORLD The other 38 were identified correctly as nonspam. Of the spam, 687/687 were correctly identified as spam.
