--- Comment #16 from [email protected] 2011-01-20 16:36:34 UTC --- I agree with scoring it as zero (as opposed to "hard" removal) at this time, as these are rules that do occasionally fire. Perhaps there should be a standard proceedure to deal with rules deemed of little to no effect. Two steps: 1) Change score to zero (thus deactivating it by default) after discussion, etc. 2) Some time later (6 months to a year), remove it from the published rulesets, perhaps after a second discussion. OK, so that's a bit bureaucratic, but it gives people a chance to comment and for those who choose to continue its use, an opportunity to move it to their local rulesets (and out of the common, published rules). In the specific case of the "bogus MX" rule, is it possible that the low firing may be because other code in your MTA (e.g. at the MAIL FROM stage) is checking and rejecting sending sources with bogus MX records before SA ever sees the message? Such is the case at my system, but that check only considers the sender, not other fields such as intermediate relays, any "Reply-To:" address, etc. I just want to confirm that your (Warren's) low hit rate isn't due to another check performed before SA ever sees the message. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
