Evening all,
A great majority of our ham starts with Dear Sir/ Dear Madam / Dear Bob.
Therefore I've always wondered why this this is scored so highly:
* 2.0 DEAR_SOMETHING BODY: Contains 'Dear (something)'
Does anyone know the rational behind this, or is our user base simply
communicating on a higher level? :) I imagine the rational is sound, but I do
not know what it is.
The rationale is simple. The masscheck finds that this rule hits more
spam than ham, so it gets a higher score.
