Description Bob Proulx 2007-11-12 19:34:26 UTC 
A misclassified message caused me to look at the FRT_OPPORTUN1 and FRT_OPPORTUN2
rules.  I think they are much too aggressive.  A single mispelled word
"oppportunity" in a message causes both rules to fire and to score 3.7 points! 
That is too much for a single clue.

I brought up the issue on the users list:

Alex Woick gave a nice analysis of the rule:

I think this rule needs to be examined for validity.  I am sure that the corpus
simply does not have any non-spam with this typo but just the same the rule is
probably not matching as it was intended to be written.

Those rules has been disabled on 03/31/2014, should we close this bz ?
Comment 2 Bob Proulx 2018-01-01 23:27:48 UTC 
If they have actually been disabled then this bug should have been updated at that time.  I disabled them explicitly in my local configuration.  Therefore I won't see this problem again even if they are not.
Comment 3 Bob Proulx 2018-01-01 23:28:30 UTC 
Marking as resolved and fixed.
