hi Maxim -- just got a chance to look at this.
We *did* have a Bat!-message-id-recognition rule, but we found that it got
higher false positive rates than other rules that looked for other aspects of
Bat! formatting. Unfortunately a small but significant number of mailing lists
rewrite the Message ID -- more than rewrite other aspects of the message.
You can see the discussion here:
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=2294#c8
'Note that FORGED_MUA_THEBAT_BOUN and FORGED_THEBAT_HTML catch very nearly the
same amount of stuff as FORGED_MUA_THEBAT, without any false positives; also
note that we *keep* running into gateways mangling the message-ids, and wierd
bug reports like this. So I suggest we just nuke FORGED_MUA_THEBAT in 2.61
(and possibly tweak scores a little to make up, if required -- but I doubt it
will be.)'
bug 6068 -- using the Date: header formatting -- might be useful as an
alternative, however.
