[Bug 6428] New: FRT_SYMBOL and TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL match too much

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6428

           Summary: FRT_SYMBOL and TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL match too much
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.2.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gertjan@west.nl


The rules FRT_SYMBOL and TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL match the perfectly valid Dutch word
"symbool". The default scoring for these rules gives a message containing this
word a whopping 4.6 points!
 *  2.9 FRT_SYMBOL BODY: ReplaceTags: Symbol
 *  1.7 TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL BODY: TVD_FUZZY_SYMBOL

I checked my SPAM archive (dating back to 2003, over 400.000 SPAM messages) and
the first, last and only time I received SPAM legitimately matching these rules
was in July 2008(!) in *one* message refererring to a stock ticker "sym bol".
The rule expressions need to be updated to no longer match "symbool".

The version of the rules that I run:
# UPDATE version 895075
