I take that back, I think all the scores in 72_scores.cf are mutable / subject to regular optimal re-scoring. So the answer is some combination of: 1) Because you don't contribute data via masscheck, so we don't have the benefit of your data to improve the usefulness of scores. 2) Because the re-scorer thinks this rule is useful enough in blocking spams that it's worth the occasional missed spam it causes. Would you rather get as many spams as you do, and have them all hit RP_MATCHES_RCVD, or not use RP_MATCHES_RCVD, and miss twice as many spams? "Twice" is not intended to be a solid number, just an example of how the re-scorer might be thinking. Since it always aims for 1 wrong non-spam in 2500, so what varies by rule usage is the number of spams it catches. -- "Of course there's strength in numbers.
