I've just had another couple of reports of false positives due to hits
on one or more of the FROM_MISSP_* rules.

Curious coincidence:  Almost all of the reports to date have involved
webform email for real estate companies.  Most of the rest have involved
scan-to-email multifunction devices - mostly Xerox.... used by real
estate companies.  O_o

It's become enough of a problem that I've sighed, rolled my eyes, and
disabled the scored rules in this cluster, since they're also not making
much of a difference in spam catch rate locally.  (They're hitting as
much as ~3% of mail scanned daily, but only making the difference
between ham and spam on ~10-15 of ~80-90K messages daily - including an
unknown number of FPs that don't get reported.)

While I agree that this is triggering on a real RFC-"SHOULD" structural
problem with the emails, it's clear that people writing webform handlers
and people writing email code for multifunction printer/scanner devices
don't see this as a problem.  I've tried contacting several websites
offering services to real estate agents, for instance, and I have had no
response.
