[Bug 5192] New: Default DNS_FROM_RFC_POST , _ABUSE, and _WHOIS scores too high

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5192

           Summary: Default DNS_FROM_RFC_POST , _ABUSE, and _WHOIS scores
                    too high
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.1.7
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: blentz@channing-bete.com


The DNS_FROM_RFC_POST, DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE, and DNS_FROM_RFC_WHOIS BLs are
generating an enormous number of false positives at my site, usually from
comcast.net and verizon.net senders. These messages aren't really "spam" (and
are actually wanted by the recipients), regardless of how irresponsible these
sites' postmaster, abuse, and whois configurations are. After all, it's
SpamAssassin, not RFCAssassin, right? I've been forcing these scores down to 0.4
each to help reduce the number of complaints I've been getting.

Any chance the default scores for these rules could be reconsidered? I can't be
the only one having this kind of problem, can I?

only DNS_FROM_RFC_DSN and DNS_FROM_RFC_BOGUSMX remain in 3.2.0; those other
rules have already been removed.
