Steve, the one who wrote this regex, would you please explain your reasoning behind giving this rule a score so high as 2.8,
That score was auto-assigned by masscheck, where it is doing quite well: http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?rule=FSL_HELO_BARE_IP_2
and engage in discussion WRT lowering the score, eliminating the overlap with the other bare IP HELO rules, etc?
It seems that 94% of the ham hits in masscheck are against list mail, and none of the spam hits are, so it would seem reasonable to add an exclusion for list messages.
Maddoc hasn't touched these rules since 2009, so I will go ahead and add an exclusion for that.
