TVD tests?
In the 80_additional.cf file I have a list of TVD* rules that are not
explained on the http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_1_x.html page
(I'm running SA 3.1.7 and up to date with sa-update). Are these new
rules added to SA? Most of the scores rank pretty high and I'm seeing
them pop up in FPs more and more.

FWIW, TVD_ are simply rules that I wrote (initials). Some of them happen
to focus on the graphic spams, others focus on other things. :)
FPs are dependent on the type of mail you receive of course.

Personally I've had no problems with them, internal mail bypasses SA
anyway and the TVD tagged mail I do see are most definitely spam.

I Think the TVD rules are to do with gif spams. If your users use
Outlook and stationary then FP's can be high unless you balance the
scores with whitelisting and/or don't scan local users.
