AXB_X_ORIG_OMNIMS is causing too many FPs

I was wondering why MS costumers will have a 2.696+ penalty .

header AXB_X_ORIG_OMNIMS X-OriginatorOrg =~ /\.onmicrosoft\.com$/
describe AXB_X_ORIG_OMNIMS outbound.protection.outlook.com forwarders
score AXB_X_ORIG_OMNIMS                     2.696 2.799 2.696 2.799

Any idea why is high ?

The distinct Forefront tag, in case anyone's intersted, is

X-Forefront-Antispam-Report: SFV:SPM;

(lots of stuff following SPM;)

According to Microsoft itself at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn205071%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx,
SFV:SPM means "The message was marked as spam by the spam filter."

So Microsoft is recognizing the outbound messages as spam and relaying
them anyway.  It's so bad that (at least) 10 of their IPs wound up
our spam-source RBL... for example:

$ canit-reputation-check 157.56.116.99
157.56.116.99: emea01-am1-ndr.ptr.protection.outlook.com
        SpamSource
        hs=1150 hh=49 as=7420 ah=1729 vr=20023 ir=16499

 1150 hand-votes:    spam
   49 hand-votes:    ham
 7420 auto-detected: spam
 1729 auto-detected: ham
20023 valid recipients seen
16499 invalid recipients seen (spammers have dirty lists)

Regards,

David.

I've disabled it - Those spams are easier to detect and reject at MTA level.

Microsoft sends them with empty env-sender and the PTR used for these 
spams have a distinct patttern
There's also a distinct Forefront tag which identifies them nicely.

I forgot the nopublish tflag on my rule  - it was never supposed to be 
published, in the first place.

watch it, AXB_X_ORIG_OMNIMS won't be published after the next update.

It is useful.  I added the domain to freemail_domains (see r1533678
<https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1533678>) to catch
an old spam signature
<http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?rule=FREEMAIL_REPLYTO> that the ISC
noted
<https://isc.sans.edu/diary/New+spamming+technique+-+onmicrosoft.com/16841>
it is exhibiting.  I don't think our list had been updated for a while,
either; I found one site
<http://www.zemskov.net/free-email-domains.html> that lists hundreds of
domains we were missing.  Either it was especially comprehensive or
we're missing lots more.

This should do it:

header __ONMICROSOFT_REPLYTO    Reply-To =~ /\@\w{5,30}\.onmicrosoft\.com\b/i
meta KHOP_ONMS_REPLYTO_FREEMAIL AXB_X_ORIG_OMNIMS && !__ONMICROSOFT_REPLYTO && __freemail_replyto

Convert it to a subrule, it may be useful in metas.

Please follow John Hardin's advice and convert it to subrule..

For the same reason Y!Mail should have similar score ( or worse :p ) .
If you have exchange emails with companies hosted there, you realize
that MS is no different than the others. Or else you end up with a huge
FP rate like Gmail ( i.e, Jari response to this thread ended up in my
spam folder ) .

I'll disable this rule.

It shows that Microsoft has a massive spam problem and very litte is 
being to done to solve it.

While that is factual, I think a ceiling needs to be added to this rule 
perhaps 1 or 1.25.  It seems pretty high scoring for what appears to be 
microsoft's hosting solution.  What am I missing?
