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
I accept that this rule may be too broad for the FP avoidance technique to
work given a limited masscheck corpus (and just about any corpus we could
use would be "limited" in this situation).
Just to clarify: you also don't believe that it may be useful as a subrule
to meta with other rules because you don't believe the masscheck corpus
can possibly give realistic results for this test? Is that what you're
saying above?
