Benny, I see your lack of perception and insight is as profound here as
on Postfix-users.  Please do not reply to my posts, here, there, or
anywhere.


Steve, the one who wrote this regex, would you please explain your
reasoning behind giving this rule a score so high as 2.8, and engage in
discussion WRT lowering the score, eliminating the overlap with the
other bare IP HELO rules, etc?

The introduction of this rule has caused a large amount of list mail to
be falsely tagged, and is not causing any additional spam to be tagged.
 All it's doing here is causing FPs.  FYI, 99.5%+ of my inbound non-spam
mail stream is list mail.  So simply whitelisting the lists, as many
might suggest, is not an option.  I use SA specifically to tag spam
coming from the lists because checks during the SMTP session are
obviously useless here.  Until this new rule it was working relatively
well.  Some spam was getting through, but I wasn't seeing all these FPs.

Thanks.
