I should have clarified that.
On current, updated FC6 SpamAssasssin, FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS is changed to
need at least *eight* digits to fire, at least if I read
From:addr =~ /\D\d{8,}\@/i
correctly.
(My SpamAssassin install doesn't fire this rule on your e-mails).
FROM_HAS_ULINE_NUMS does fire, but by default it only adds between 0.21
and 0.31 to the spam score unless both Bayes *and* network tests are
turned off. (Then it gets 0.744.) By default you need a spam score of 5
before you're blocked.
So it looks *slightly* spammy, but it will take a lot more before you
get blocked.
I wouldn't worry.
Hope this helps,
James.
