There are many SARE rules which hit spam and only spam, and there are
many SARE rules which hit some ham and lots of spam. This is one of the
latter.

This rule is one of the worse rules.  On my corpus on 5/8, this rule hit
657 spam and 327 ham.  2:1 is a horrible ratio, and does not warrant a
.646 score.

I've just lowered the score to 0.111 at
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_ratware.cf

Your second email asked,

Yes, if that's the intent rather than just incorrect documentation.
