Summary: FRT_SYMBOL and TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL match too much
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.2.5
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Rules
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The rules FRT_SYMBOL and TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL match the perfectly valid Dutch word
"symbool". The default scoring for these rules gives a message containing this
word a whopping 4.6 points!
* 2.9 FRT_SYMBOL BODY: ReplaceTags: Symbol
* 1.7 TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL BODY: TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL
I checked my SPAM archive (dating back to 2003, over 400.000 SPAM messages) and
the first, last and only time I received SPAM legitimately matching these rules
was in July 2008(!) in *one* message refererring to a stock ticker "sym bol".
The rule expressions need to be updated to no longer match "symbool".
The version of the rules that I run:
# UPDATE version 895075
