[Bug 3267] New: Improving Support for newsgroup messages

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3267

           Summary: Improving Support for newsgroup messages
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: robert@accettura.com


Spammers often hit newsgroups that are tied into mailing lists, so many get tons
of spam as a result, and much of passes right by.  I think it's possible to do
better.

I'm attaching a message with a few things that catch my eye right away:
DNSBL checks on:
X-Trace-PostClient-IP: 24.108.9.79
X-NNTP-Posting-Host: host-69-48-73-244.roc.choiceone.net
X-Original-Trace: 8802432846 ESS-p-144-138-5-133.mega.tmns.net.au 84106
host-69-48-73-244.roc.choiceone.net (13 Apr 2004 17:35:17 GMT)
NNTP-Posting-Host: 24.71.223.147

Other tests (not to sure on these):
Excessive "Newsgroups:"
Different Host domains for "Newsgroups"




I'm attaching the email these came from.  Look how low it scored, and look at
those headers.  I think it's pretty evident.
