           Summary: MARKETING_PARTNERS false positive
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 2.63
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ben@decadentplace.org.uk


The regex for the MARKETING_PARTNERS rule is:
/\b(?:marketing|network) partner|\bpartner (?:web)?site/i

This matched a confirmation message for some plane tickets I just bought and
together with the HTML tests pushed it over the limit. It's fairly common for
airlines to refer to partner web sites (for hotels, car rental, etc) and this is
liable to match a lot of such confirmations. This could be disastrous for
someone who failed to note down the reference number for a ticketless booking.
Either the regex should be changed to require a longer phrase or the default
weights for this rule should be reduced from the current values (up to 3.5).
