Thanks for proving my point.
If the score for this rule was not enough to filter ham on it
didn't contribute to the spam filtering materially either.
That makes no sense at all.
Most of the SA rules I've seen are of the same nature: if you trigger
JUST that rule, it wont say the message is spam. That doesn't mean,
even remotely, that it doesn't contribute to the spam filtering.
And he did say it contributed to other spam filtering (which had 1 of 3
characteristics: RFCI, SPF, or DKIM).
