Hm, ADDR_NUMS_AT_BIGSITE and FROM_WEBMAIL_END_NUMS6 seem to be redundant.
But then, nothing intelligent comes from AOL is a good rule here. I had
to whitelist only one address at AOL over the last several years. So I
never bothered about it before. (I told the holder of that address that
his AOL address may be the biggest reason his proposals to customers have
not been making it sometimes. Heavy AOL filters seem to be a generic spam
filter phenomenon.) However, I suspect redundant rules in the basic score
set are not really required.

Subject: Unreasonable penalty for AOL addresses ending in numbers?
> I have had a couple of FP's recently from valid AOL users. AOL recommends
appending digits to your screen name to make it unique, and many users do
that. The result (sender using AOL 9.0 client, SA 2.63) is a penalty of
6.39 points right off the bat. Isn't that a bit extreme?
