Hi,
I'd just like to note some FPs on AXB_XMAILER_MIMEOLE_OL_B054A hitting
some ham.
Rules in this cluster seem to target "obsolete" versions of MSOE and its
descendants. See
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6844 for some
discussion around a similar rule.
I can see the reasoning, but all too often ISP end users do not update
their systems, ever, causing these to be seen in live legitimate traffic.
My $0.02. Rules often will hit on Spam and Ham so a FP should really be
something that causes a Spam or Ham to be categorized incorrectly as a
whole.
For example, I may write a rule that scores 0.25 that hits on Spam but
also some Ham. But I also have rules that are negative to negate the
Ham impact.
So if a score is particularly high on a single rule or it contributes to
mismarking an email, it's a good thing to discuss. If it adds a small
amount to a score, that's really not unexpected.
So when the rule misfires on the Ham, is the ham still being overall not
marked as Spam? Do you see a good amount of hits from the rule on Spam?

KAM
