[Bug 3226] New: bogus MAILTO_TO_SPAM_ADDR, TO_HAS_SPACES, OPT_HEADER tests
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3226

Summary: bogus MAILTO_TO_SPAM_ADDR, TO_HAS_SPACES, OPT_HEADER
tests
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 2.63
Platform: All
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: Rules
AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
ReportedBy: moore+spamassassin@cs.utk.edu


Three SA tests report significant bogus results on the message with headers below.

1. There is no spam address in the message header. The only address is that
of a mailing list that is subscribe-only. We've received numerous complaints
from people who haven't received their once-a-week digest because of
SA.

2. There is a space in the To: field, but not in the middle of an address -
the space is between the : and ; of group syntax. This is valid syntax.
That space, BTW is not present in the message as submitted, it's added
by one or more sendmails in the message path. This is a common sendmail
bug, but it doesn't violate the message syntax.

SA should not consider spaces in the group name, or between : and ;
as being spaces in an address.

3. I have no idea why the OPT_HEADER test is succeeding. I can't find
any documentation for that test. The header fields are all perfectly
normal ones.
