your rule RPATH_NULL_CTCQ _NULL also hits on very large part of my corpus because a bunch of my spam feeds send with an empty envelope sender to prevent possible bounces

see

imo this rule should removed..

I will suppress the scored _RPATH_NULL meta rules as your feeds are distorting the corpus.

I would note that this practice also destroys the usefulness of the ENV_AND_HDR_FROM_MATCH and ENV_AND_HDR_SPF_MATCH rules, and possibly some bounce-related rules as well.

Again, I would ask that you try to have your feeds use an envelope sender that you can capture and ignore bounces to, rather than performing a major modification of the raw spam by permanently *discarding* the original envelope sender.

Ideally the trap would save the envelope sender (perhaps in a custom header) and your collection system would restore that as the original envelope sender after receipt for corpus analysis so that your internal trap policies don't affect the quality and accuracy of your corpora.
