As Phil Randal pointed out, "Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 and its relatives 
use PHP 5.4.16.".

This rule is therefore likely not to be a good indicator of spam or ham 
and will cause FPs because it's a known, in-use version and the premise 
that it is outdated as the basis of the rule is false.

I do not know if that extends to PHPMailer.  Is that shipped with an 
distros?

That is a great start. Create a sandbox directory for you, name the 
rules starting with T_ and reference the bug #'s.

I would be glad to if I knew how.  Is this a sandbox rule?  Do I simply 
follow this?  https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleSandboxes
