Comment:
update, note that addresses are valid if unusual
- Names like "FO'Hara@xxxxx.com" will be received as spam due to the apostrophe in the address.

+ == SpamAssassin Rule: APOSTROPHE_FROM ==
- One of my friends asked me why I dont respond to his funny emails with poorly photoshopped graphics. It was because my spam filter thought what he was sending was spam.
+ ''Standard description:'' From address contains an apostrophe
+ === Explanation ===
+
+ The apostrophe character "'" appears in the address part of the From: header.
+
+ e.g. {{{<jo...@example.com>}}}
+
+ === Further Info ===
+
+ The default scores for this rule can be found [[http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html|in the online list of tests]].
+
+ Note that, while the [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4|email address specification]] allows for apostrophes to be included in the local-part of an address, use of apostrophes has been historically discouraged for security and interoperability reasons. As such addresses containing them use may be considered unusual.
