In rules/20_head_tests.cf is this comment:

# Headers that seem to only be used by a single spamming software and
# are found together in the same message:
# 1. X-MailingID and X-ServerHost
# 2. X-EM-Registration and X-EM-Version
# 3. X-Stormpost-To and X-List-Unsubscribe

Today I got a completely innocent, 2-line email from someone using
http://mail2web.com to access their office email from offsite.  It got
this spam rating:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.31 (devel $Id: SpamAssassin.pm,
    v 1.94.2.2 2002/06/20 17:20:29 hughescr Exp $)
X-Spam-Report:   6.6 hits, 5 required;
  * -0.1 -- From: no spaces in name
  *  1.6 -- 'Received:' has 'may be forged' warning
  *  1.3 -- Found a X-EM-Version header
  *  1.2 -- Found a X-EM-Registration header
  *  2.6 -- 'From:' address also used as sender's real name

Having composed this, I now see that the scores for X_EM_REGISTRATION and
X_EM_VER_PRESENT have been removed from rules/50_scores.cf in CVS -- but
the tests themselves have not been removed from rules/20_head_tests.cf, so
even in the latest versions they get the default score of 1.0 each.

What's supposed to be happening to those?  I thought we decided they 
weren't really spam indicators after all, but ...
