I recently received a FP report on an e-mail that hit on, among other
things, FREEMAIL_ENVFROM_END_DIGIT. This rule has a score of 1.6,
which seems maybe a little high. Henrik mentioned the same thing in
comment 185 [1] of Bug 6155 which is closed as resolved/fixed. The
assumption was that there probably isn't much ham in the corpora that
matches addresses like these and therefore the score may be unfairly
high.
The closed bug was addressing overall score generation and not
directly related to this rule. Have any of the devs already looked at
this particular issue, or should this be opened as a new bug for
further investigation?
WAY too many gmail and hotmail and yahoo accounts out there, and they
HAVE TO END IN DIGITS.so, FREEMAIL-ENVFROM_END_DIGIT is redundant with
FREEMAIL.
oh, and I have clients who claim their lawyer uses aol for his corporate
email address. and guess what? yes, it ends in a digit since his
lastname , first/last and last/first were already taken.
