[Bug 4733] New: FROM_ALL_NUMS misfires on Inmarsat email addresses
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4733
Summary: FROM_ALL_NUMS misfires on Inmarsat email addresses
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Rules
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: nj@leverton.org
Some Inmarsat email providers give addresses in the form
[0-9]+@provider (see
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22inmc.eik.com%22 and
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22c.xantic.net%22 for many examples from two
providers, eik.com and xantic.net).
These are not actual phone numbers (Inmarsat phone numbers start +87x) but
numeric addresses. The rules FROM_STARTS_WITH_NUMS and FROM_ALL_NUMS fire on
these valid addresses, giving a base 3.4 points to mail from these providers.
I suspect the gateways are altering/removing other headers too, but the
all-numeric rules are the biggest hitters. I'll investigate the other hits on
these mails separately.

For score issues, the general response is that you should provide results during
the next score run.
In this case, these rules are essentially unusable due to hitrate (and 2 of the
3 are simply meta rules now):
0.390 0.4694 0.0527 0.899 0.68 1.00 __FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS
0.085 0.1000 0.0226 0.816 0.55 1.34 FROM_STARTS_WITH_NUMS
0.059 0.0699 0.0151 0.823 0.54 1.00 __FROM_ALL_NUMS
so I'm calling this wfm.
