Subject: spamassassin: TRACKER_ID test gives too many false positives for some
languages


Hi,

The TRACKER_ID regexp
/^[a-z0-9]{6,24}[-_a-z0-9]{12,36}[a-z0-9]{6,24}\s*\z/is matches
non-spammy words in the Dutch language like
"aanmerkelijk-belangregelingen". Quite likely, valid words in other
languages match too.

Since the default TRACKER_ID score is quite high ( score TRACKER_ID
2.528 3.527 3.261 3.784), this gives lots of false possitives.

You might want to disable the TRACKER_ID test in the shipped local.cf,
lower the score, or make the regexp more specific.

Thanks, Bye,

This should probably be looked at before 3.0.0

Old news, unfortunately. On bug 2307 there've been already some discussion, 
amrking this as a dup (let's see how Bugzilla handles the block mark).
