Proposed rule: body RM_bl_ConsWord8 /\b[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz]{8}\b/ describe RM_bl_ConsWord8 Body contains "word" of 8 consec consonants score RM_bl_ConsWord8 0.01
Problem: SA appears to be matching this rule against emails where I think it shouldn't. One example is attached. I have tried to find the matching location for this regex in the attached email, and cannot. But SA thinks it matched.
I also tried to find where it was matching, using the following method:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kmactane$ perl -e '$ret = open FILE, "./newtest.lst"; print "ret: $ret\n"; $count=0; while (<FILE>) { if ($_ =~ /[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz]{5,} /) { print "line $count: $&\n"; } $count++; }'
For clarity, this is how that code looks when pretty-printed:
$ret = open FILE, "./newtest.lst";
print "ret: $ret\n";
$count=0;
while (<FILE>) {
if ($_ =~ /[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz]{5,} /) {
print "line $count: $&\n";
}
$count++;
}The line printing the value of $ret was for debugging purposes; my initial tests without quoting the filename failed the open() call.
The regex used here is, obviously, much more permissive than yours; it omits the word boundaries and matches 5-or-more characters, instead of 8-and-only-8. Here's the output it gave me:
ret: 1 line 4: bsmtp line 36: ffffff line 39: ffffff line 41: ffffff line 43: ffffff line 44: ffffff line 96: ffffff
The "bsmtp" is from your first Received: header ("with local-bsmtp"); the others are obviously HTML color specifications. There's nothing past 6 characters. I have no idea why SA is triggering on this rule with this input.
