           Summary: Opengroupware mailer gets tagged as a ratware mailer.
                    False positive.
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: vellmont@yahoo.com


Spamassassin has two rules, RATWARE_HASH_2, and RATWARE_HASH_2_V2 which are
triggered by  X-Mailer: headers longer than 16, and 14 characters that are one
of (A-Z,a-z, 0-9,.,_).  The opengroupware mailer uses the following header:

X-Mailer: OpenGroupware.org

which has 17 of the above characters in its tag, triggering both rules. 
Opengroupware generates legitimate email, is not a spam mailer, and shouldn't be
rated with a relatively high spam score.

The opengroupware maintainers have been contacted (see
http://bugzilla.opengroupware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=607), but
understandably feel that the header is completely legitimate and this problem
should be fixed in SpamAssassin.

This is a re-occuring problem, as seen by
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2108.  Can these rules have a
list of exceptions added to them?  I'm not a regular expression expert, so I
don't know if a maintainable exception list is implementable.
