false positive: KHOP_BIG_TO_CC

We've had a report from a user about a false positive involving
KHOP_BIG_TO_CC which has a score of 3.4. This seems like an excessive
penalty for perfectly reasonable behaviour.

header   KHOP_BIG_TO_CC  ToCc =~ /(?:[^,\@]{1,60}\@[^,]{4,25},){10}/
describe KHOP_BIG_TO_CC  Sent to 10+ recipients instaed of Bcc or a list
score    KHOP_BIG_TO_CC  3.199 3.399 3.199 3.399

score KHOP_BIG_TO_CC (-1.5) (-1.5) (-1.5) (-1.5)

in local.cf or user_prefs should solve it

Hi,

Raising an old thread again, I'm also seeing FPs on this one. No real
changes have been made as far as I can see: a high score and no increase
of number of recipients (nor anything else)...

Regards,
	Tom

I've also seen false positives on this.  I was going to change it to 25
addresses locally, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
