very long?
20 chars?
4 points?
seriously?

that needs to be lower scored or 20 raised to much higher values

OK, set to 25 and limit 3.5

This rule is definitely bad.
A lot of euro languages have domains with a ton of chars.
imo, a lame excuse of a rule.

my LOUD -1 for this kind of exercise.

And another from me (40 chars in my address, for example).

antony.st...@spamassassin.open.source.it

Take another look at that regex.  It's not matching domains.  The match
has to be followed by an @, so it is matching the user part of the address.

correct

FWIW, the VERY_LONG_REPTO_SHORT_MSG rule has not hit anything at all on
my server in the last month

and hence it's so bad, it don't hit any relevant amount of messages and when it hits the FP risk is way too high - the few spam messages it hits are blocked by enough other (more sensible) rules
