 Even with lots of conditions, a 12 letter domain is nothing
extraordinary,
 especially in the eurozone.

 Imo, this rule should be applied locally by the person who suggested as

 Votes to see it go away? (even scoring low is asking for trouble)

Agreed.  Sounds a bit silly to me.  +1 to remove.  Would have to be a
meta rule.

It _is_ a meta rule, with FP exclusions. Unfortunately that approach is
only as reliable as the masscheck corpus is reliable and broad.

not really - No way I could put my production ham mail in a corpus bin to make it score "useless" but I can count >1.2 milllion hits where that rule could have FPd, had I not lowered the score to 0.001, (to watch it)

I'd be willing to make it a subrule and investigate combinations with
other spammy rules, rather than trying to reduce its FPs through
exclusions.

reducing FPs is not possible, no matter how much you dance around it, and not even worth it.

Sorry... I can't agree
