According to bug 6394, this is not the first time this has been discussed:

Here are the current scores for FREEMAIL:

#FREEMAIL SCORES
score FREEMAIL_FORGED_REPLYTO 1.199 2.503 1.204 2.095
score FREEMAIL_REPLY 2.499 2.499 1.788 1.929
score FREEMAIL_REPLYTO 3.257 2.775 1.811 2.398
score FREEMAIL_REPLYTO_END_DIGIT 1.221 0.980 1.179 1.151
# Bug 6394, score 1.5 is too high, depends on local traffic
score FREEMAIL_ENVFROM_END_DIGIT 0.1
score FREEMAIL_FROM     0.001


I'm making the following changes but open to others tweaking the plugin,
tweaking the scores or even disabling the rules and putting them into masscheck
for auto-promotion (or not as the case may be).

#FREEMAIL SCORES - Scores lowered per bug 6744
score FREEMAIL_FORGED_REPLYTO 1.199 2.503 1.204 2.095
score FREEMAIL_REPLY 1.0
score FREEMAIL_REPLYTO 1.0
score FREEMAIL_REPLYTO_END_DIGIT 0.25
score FREEMAIL_ENVFROM_END_DIGIT 0.25
score FREEMAIL_FROM     0.001

In short, the above scores are possibly just a band-aid but they should
mitigates an issue we know is occurring.  And, for example, the FP I mentioned
at the start was completely legit but fired 5.1 points JUST from the Freemail
rules.  That's almost a poison pill rule. 

I think these could be improved with meta rules but someone would need to pick
up that baton.  I want to focus on 3.4.0 blockers.

6744'
