SA FP on a gfi newsletter

I recently got an FP for an (opted in) gfi.com newsletter.


X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.454 required=5 tests=[BLANK_LINES_70_80=1.236,
 DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE=0.479, DNS_FROM_RFC_POST=1.44, DNS_FROM_RFC_WHOIS=0.879,
 FROM_EXCESS_BASE64=1.052, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, HTML_TAG_EXIST_TBODY=0.126,
 MIME_BOUND_NEXTPART=0.241, SUBJECT_EXCESS_BASE64=0]

So they managed to cross the line;-p

Question: Isn't DNS_FROM_RFC_POST score too high?

The message is a bit long, so I am not posting it here. or should I?

I think so. I've set the score to 0 in my local.cf. IMO, the postmaster list 
from rfc-ignorant.org takes anti-spamming a little too far into false 
positive territory. Sure, people should play by the rules, and it would be 
nice if they did, but considering the *major* domains that are on there, I'd 
rather my users be able to get mail and me keep my job than to be militant 
about everyone sticking to RFCs.
