Hi,

As mentioned in the subject I'm getting an FP hit on forged_hotmail_rcvd
with 3.1.0 rc1 and rc2

It looks a bit like FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD doesn't like your Received: header
format. It seems to be looking for a more sendmail-like header.

That smells like a bug to me.

Your MTA is generating Received headers in a qmail-ish format like this:

from <rdns> (<ip>) by ...

But the rule seems to be looking for something more like sendmail's format:

from <helo> (<rdns> [<ip>]) by ..

Unless I'm missing something and SA internally converts qmail Received: header
formats into sendmail-style ones..


Munged message below.

Some quotes from EvalTests.pm:

 # Hotmail formats its received headers like this:
 # Received: from hotmail.com (f135.law8.hotmail.com [216.33.241.135])
 # spammers do not ;)

 if ($self->gated_through_received_hdr_remover()) { return; }

 if ($rcvd =~ /from \S*hotmail.com \(\S+\.hotmail(?:\.msn)?\.com[ \)]/ && $ip)
               { return; }
Hi,

You are correct, it is a qmail server. Should I open a bugzilla ticket ? And what do you recommend I do for now, score the rule at 0 ?

Regards,

Rick
