SA Bugzilla – Bug 649
new FP rule FINANCIAL
Last modified: 2002-08-28 19:57:20 UTC
I didn't have a chance to run this through mass-check, but a quick pcregrep says 0 spam matches and 11 non-spam matches. It doesn't match a lot, but it's (hopefully) not likely to FP and it's the only rule I could come up with for a FP I got today. body FINANCIAL /\b(?:member\s+(?-i:NASD/SIPC)|not\s+insured\s+.{0,10}(?-i:FDIC)|(?-i:FDIC)\s+insured)/i description FINANCIAL Message indicates a financial institute
Can you attach the FP including X-Spam headers?
Created attachment 249 [details] The FP that this rule fixes

Are you sure this isn't spam? It's promotional email for a service you don't appear to already have. It's not even directly from etrade.com, it's p0.com which appears to be a promotional email domain.

As I stated, it's a mail that would be considered spam were I not a customer... Most spammers wouldn't go stating that they're a member of NASD or being not insurced via FDIC.
I'm looking at this rule some more. Did you ASK E*Trade to send you promotional offers? I used to be an E*Trade customer, so I know they also send News emails that contain information about changes, improvements, etc. in addition to a few advertisements. This does not appear to be one of those emails. It seems to be pure 100% unsolicited ad. It's so unbelievably spam-like, it's hard to not call it a spam... The other problem is that I get some hits for real spam companies as well. (Trying to sell me their newsletter or something.) I did get some brokerage nonspam with it too, but I had to go further back in my email history to find it (my current brokerage doesn't send me mail unless I ask them to).

Since I am a customer of theirs, I may have agreed to receive this stuff, and have never explicitly opted-out from them, I can't consider this spam, although I agree that is very spammy in nature. The message was actually sent to my customer-email address for them, so ... I'm now looking at unsubscribing from emails that aren't directly related to my accounts. > The other problem is that I get some hits for real spam companies as well. > (Trying to sell me their newsletter or something.)

Since this was a very low-hit rule (11/12987) I wouldn't be upset if it wasn't used. I haven't seen spam with the NASD/FDIC statements though.
in cvs. changed name as there's already a FINANCIAL rule
OVERALL% SPAM% NONSPAM% S/O SCORE NAME 0.016 0.030 0.003 0.91 -1.00 T_NASD_FINANCIAL (fn, low matches) matches spam 91% of the time, I'm afraid :(
assigning to Justin since he handled this (I recommend removing rule and closing bug based on results)
sure, sounds good to me.
