[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "Rules/RCVD BAD ID" by LeeMaguire

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by LeeMaguire:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/RCVD_BAD_ID

New page:
#language en
== SpamAssassin Rule: RCVD_BAD_ID ==

''Standard description:'' none

=== Explanation ===

One of the trace fields (Received: headers) contains an unusually formatted ID parameter.

=== Further Info ===

The default scores for this rule can be found [http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html in the online list of tests].

Note: matching this rule does not necessarily infer that the Received: header
is invalid or non-standard, only unusual.

The format of the Received: header is defined in
[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2821#section-4.4 RFC 2821 sec 4.4]
(which references ''atext'' defined in
[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822 RFC 2822]
) and allows for characters beyond the ASCII alpha/digit/underscore/minus usually seen in IDs.
