Do you have evidence this is indicative of spam?
Comment 2 Benny Pedersen 2018-02-11 16:34:14 UTC 
i dont know yet, thats why i would like to se the S/O score first

it hits here on some mails, and its not hitting on ham

not good rule to test then ?
Comment 3 Kevin A. McGrail 2018-02-11 16:42:15 UTC 
I see your note now on the list.  I wondered if you had any evidence, even anecdotal, that this was a decent spam or ham indicator.

Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 and its relatives use PHP 5.4.16.

They're going to be supported for quite some time.

I suspect the real indicator of spamminess is more likely to be from the use of a PHP-based mailer, not the PHP version used.

The rule might be worth a 0.1 score, but no way is a score of 3 justified.
Comment 6 Kevin A. McGrail 2018-02-12 12:10:41 UTC 
Good point.  There is no way this rule will be indicative of ham or spam.  No reason to bother with the S/O. Recommend it's commented.

DaveJ, can you comment this rule in sandbox?  See comments 5 & 6.
