This may be a Microsoft Outlook-only thing, but I am getting a lot of NO_REAL_NAME hits on messages that are forwarded on behalf of someone.
in the headers: From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: "Jeremy Kister" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and my MUA shows me: From: Jeremy Kister [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I added a rule to my local.cf: header JK_SENDER1 Sender =~ /^"?[a-z0-9\s\.\',-]+"?\s+\<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>?\s*$/i describe JK_SENDER1 jk: Sender has a real name (balance NO_REAL_NAME score) score JK_SENDER1 -0.5 It's an english-type regex only; but seems to work well to counter-balance the NO_REAL_NAME test when the Sender header exists. the Regex allows for real names as: Jeremy Jeremy Kister Kister, Jeremy Jeremy Kister the 8th Jeremy O'Kister Jeremy Kister-Something Jeremy Middle. Kister .. but, to keep the regex semi-simple, it does allow for names as ' or . or even whitespace. anyone interested in improving/submitting to the next release? forgive me if my MUA sent this as HTML; I have specifically told it to send via Plain-Text, but it wants to do it the ms way :( ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Kister www.jeremykister.com PGP: http://www.jeremykister.com/jeremy/public_key.asc ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
