 The rule is a sandbox rule and is testing very well in the corpora
 unfortunately.

ya, like the 12 letter domain rule, nevertheless a bad rule.

there are thousands of legitimate domains ending with numbers and they get penalized just because the masscheck corpus hasn't enough ham using that pattern yet a tons of spam from asian domains which use numbers, etc.

my LOUD +1 to remove/disable this rule for good.

anybody else?

If it's performing well in masscheck it may have utility. Convert it to a subrule and see whether it would be useful in combination with other things.
