Why was USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL triggered on this email, even though it's spam?

Can someone tell me why this paypal phishing email, managed to trigger 
USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL?
Or put it another way.  Why wasn't it detected as a phishing email? Thanks.

Re: Why was USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL triggered on this email, even though it's spam?

is rumored to have said:

> USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL?

Hard to be sure, since you didn't include any indication of the envelope 
sender address (a.k.a. Return-Path) which is what SPF validates.

IF the envelope sender was a dropbox.com address (as implied by the From 
header and one of the DKIM headers) then SPF passed because the SPF TXT 
record for dropbox.com includes the AmazonSES machine that this came 
from. USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL passed because at some point in the past 
someone with commit permission deemed Dropbox to be a sender of 
substantial amounts of predominantly wanted non-spam that occasionally 
was being classified as spam AND that they had a useful SPF record.

This appears to be actual mail from a Dropbox service. In that sense, it 
is not a phish. It seems to want you to think that it is a PayPal 
invoice, and I'm not sure that SA can detect that sort of recursive 
phish without hardcoding concrete details like "PayPal does not send 
invoices using Dropbox" that we don't really have any way to know 
reliably.

> Or put it another way.  Why wasn't it detected as a phishing email? 
> Thanks.

Because as of right now, SpamAssassin does not know that PayPal does not 
use a Dropbox service to send invoices. As of this moment, I also can't 
say for sure that they do not, although I strongly doubt that they would 
do so.

And that Dropbox service does not seem to protect itself from fraudulent 
customers. That seems like a bad idea. We may need to reconsider 
Dropbox's presence in the distributed "default welcomelist."

Re: Why was USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL triggered on this email, even though it's spam?

Posted by Greg Troxel <gd...@lexort.com>.
A quick grep shows:

  4.000000/updates_spamassassin_org/60_welcomelist_auth.cf:def_welcomelist_auth *@*.dropbox.com

so the code is operating as designed.

It seems that either dropbox is compromised, or dropbox is allowing
user-generated content to go out under their domain.   Either way it
seems they should be removed from USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL, unless this is a
blip and they fix it right away.

Have you written to abuse@dropbox.com, and what did they say?

It seems like it too high a negative score.
