All:
The masscheck corpora are persistently hovering just below the thresholds
needed for an automatic rules update to be generated, and the complaints
about the high scores for the 12LTRDOM and HDRS_LCASE rules are getting
louder.
I recommend the best immediate course of action would be to manually
update the 70_scores.cf file in the current updates tarball to set the
scores for these rules to advisory levels and release that as a new
update. I think this would be safer than pushing a manual rules update
using scores based on somewhat-starved corpora.
I'd be willing to do this but I don't know the details of where the master
update tarballs live or how to publish a new update to DNS.
Is there agreement that this is an appropriate course of action? I someone
who does know the details willing to do this?
