           Summary:  FRT_OPPORTUN rules too agressive
           Product: Spamassassin

A misclassified message caused me to look at the FRT_OPPORTUN1 and FRT_OPPORTUN2
rules.  I think they are much too aggressive.  A single mispelled word
"oppportunity" in a message causes both rules to fire and to score 3.7 points! 
That is too much for a single clue.

I brought up the issue on the users list:

Alex Woick gave a nice analysis of the rule:

I think this rule needs to be examined for validity.  I am sure that the corpus
simply does not have any non-spam with this typo but just the same the rule is
probably not matching as it was intended to be written.
