postmaster and abuse lists at rfc-ignorant.org. Both are wildly prone to
false positives and have been removed from the 3.2 devel branch. They
effectively list sites that violate the RFCs for mail hosts and refuse
mail sent to postmaster or abuse.

That said, neither scores very high.. Assuming set3 (bayes and network)
the combined score in SA 3.1.x is only 1.908 points..

What's L_WIN_CHARSET.. that's not a stock rule I'm aware of. Looks like
an add-on to me, and probably the real culprit here. I found some
references to it from list conversations, and looks like it's trying to
match email with a windows-specific character set (windows-1252). But
it's not in any ruleset I can find anywhere.

Actually, it looks like a rule you yourself were developing back in
April.. What did you set the score to?
