Description Maxime Ritter 2002-12-28 06:48:51 UTC 
What does this rule mean ?

header MSG_ID_ADDED_BY_MTA      Message-Id =~ / \(added by
(?!postmaster\@wanadoo\.fr)/
describe MSG_ID_ADDED_BY_MTA    'Message-Id' was added by a relay

Most of my false positive where catched by this rule !!! But not any spam !
This is a real non-sense : wanadoo is the number 1 internet provider here in
France, they aren't spammers, and don't host spammers....

The rule in question specifically should _not_ match email where the
"added by" is by wanadoo.fr - it's for other cases of a MTA noting that
it added a message-id. I'm guessing that something is messing up in the rule
parsing, perhaps because you're using SA version 2.31 (which is badly out
of date); what perl version, BTW? Could you try upgrading your SA version to
2.43 and see if that fixes the problem?

The example does not trigger any MTA rules for me using 2.50 CVS.

Closing as FIXED.  SpamAssassin 2.31 is obsolete.
