Email error received when using a domain name with the cannabis word

I bring an interesting topic. Spamassasin gives a high score to domain names
with the word "cannabis" on it.

In my opinion this has to be reviewed. The cannabis industry is booming
worldwide, and many legitimate busineses might decide to use the word
"cannabis" in their names.



See attached an email error received when using a domain name with the cannabis
word.

Not much more.  KAM_MARIJUANA2 (8.0 points) only needs an additional
"medicinal" in the body, which seems highly likely if the domain is dealing in
legal cannabis products.

Problems with rules should be taken to the SA Users mailing list as RW noted.

This is not due to core spamassassin rules, the relevant rules are from the
third-party KAM rule set. You should take it up with your local admin. 

For future reference you should take rule problems like this to the user
mailing list first, rather than go straight to the bug tracker.

Also worth note is that this is not just because of the prescense of the word
cannabis in the domain name, the rules hit are more subtle than that.
