One of my users received a message today that landed in the spambucket. Upon further review, it's a legit message from Paypal. In fact, SA even recognized that it appeared to be a legit Paypal message, but since the adjustment was a whopping -0.0 points, it wasn't enough to bring it back below 5.0. Why doesn't this rule carry any negative weight, and what else could I be doing that would avoid this sort of FP?
(In other news, I have NO idea why the SARE_SXLIFE rule was triggered. I mean, I enjoy shopping on Ebay as much as the next geek, but it's not THAT exciting!)
