The OPT_HEADER (in 2.5x and 2.6x) rule does not make much sense to me:

header __OPT_HEADER_SUBJ ALL =~ /^(?:Resent-)?Subject:.*opt.?(in|out|oem|ed|ion-in|[EMAIL PROTECTED])(?:\b|\d|\@)/im
header __OPT_HEADER_ALL ALL =~ /opt.?(?:in|out|oem|ed|ion-in|[EMAIL PROTECTED])(?:\b|\d|\@)/i
meta OPT_HEADER (__OPT_HEADER_ALL && !__OPT_HEADER_SUBJ)
describe OPT_HEADER Headers include an "opt"ed phrase


It triggers on a message that has an "opt" phrase in the headers but *not* in the subject. So, a spammer can avoid the rule by putting "opt-out" in the Subject.

Also, this rule triggers on all mail into and out of the domains opt2.net, opt2.biz, and opt2.com, a company that claims to be a non-spamming web host provider. Was this rule intentionally targeted at these domains (the description doesn't indicate so)?

Thanks,

Barry
