Of those 20.2 points, 2.9 are from stock SA, and the 2.0 from Bayes
doesn't count in helping people's configs.  HTML_MESSAGE is dangerous
to bump up to 1.0 ... MIME_HTML_ONLY (1.5) takes care of most of the
HTML-based spam, while HTML_MESSAGE will trip over almost everything
(it hit 87% of the masscheck spam but also hit 27% of the ham), see
http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/week/HTML_MESSAGE/detail

Of the remaining points, my channels (see link in my sig) contributed
6.2 by bringing in BRBL and HostKarma (plus DNSBL_BUMP) plus my other
rules like 2IPS (though the original post had "IN_BCUDA_RBL" plus some
rules penalizing mail from New Zealand).

The rest comes from BotNet and whatever L_TAB_IN_FROM is.
Google directs me to a post to this list from two months ago
(2009/08/22 18:19 UTC and 2009/08/06 20:50 UTC, both from Mike Cappella).

A score of 6 is FREAKISHLY high, even for something with a very low FP
rate.  I'd score that around 1.2 if I trusted it.  I like it, so I'm
throwing it in khop-general as MC_TAB_IN_FROM scoring at 0.6 for now:

# @Mike Cappella on sa-users, 20090806 20:50 UTC + 20090822 at 18:19
header   MC_TAB_IN_FROM    From:raw =~ /^\t/m
describe MC_TAB_IN_FROM    From: Contains a tab
score    MC_TAB_IN_FROM    0.6  # 20091015, considering bump to 1.2
