assign descriptions to most rules that don't have descriptions
A number of rules don't have descriptions, I've tried to write up descriptions
for most of them.
In a handful of cases I've added comments identifying when a rule was
introduced/likely relevant because I had to do that work to figure out what the
rule was for, and that should hopefully help others in the future.
For a couple of rules where it seems like the rule authors were uncertain, I've
included a request for people to send feedback about rules.
Note that I constructed these commits as a series which you can see here:
https://github.com/jsoref/spamassassin/compare/trunk...describe as such, one of
the changes (describe TVD_IP_HEX) relies on the patch in attachment 5909 to bug
8180.
----
The most important change for us is adding a description to HTTPS_HTTP_MISMATCH
because that triggers regularly (especially because SENDGRID_REDIR triggers for
email we send) and the default message `BODY: No description available.` is not
helpful.
Note that while I'm proposing this change, I'm not changing any scores--just
giving people who read the report about the email a slightly less confusing
experience. Here's the scoring for an email that I triggered to myself (without
these changes applied, although I did have to tune the scoring so the messages
wouldn't be rejected by our exim daemon):
Content analysis details: (4.2 points, 5.0 required)
pts rule name description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
1.1 URIBL_GREY Contains an URL listed in the URIBL greylist
[URIs: sendgrid.net]
1.5 SPF_HELO_NONE SPF: HELO does not publish an SPF Record
-1.0 SPF_PASS SPF: sender matches SPF record
0.8 HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST BODY: HTML font color similar or
identical to background
1.5 HTTPS_HTTP_MISMATCH BODY: No description available.
0.3 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
