[Bug 6235] New: 'From' domain does not match 'Received' headers

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6235

Summary: 'From' domain does not match 'Received' headers
Product: Spamassassin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Rules
AssignedTo: dev[at]spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: vlb[at]cfcl.com


There is currently a test FORGED_YAHOO_RCVD for
'From' yahoo.com does not match 'Received' headers

I'd like to see a more general test
'From' domain does not match 'Received' headers

It should probably come with a low score byt default but I think matching the
actual sender domain to the From line would catch a LOT of trash

A rule like this should also be made easy to edit. Some of the most typical
spam is mail that purports to be "from me" or other accounts in my domain,
whatever my address happens to be. Now that I know about this rule, I'm going
to copy and edit it for my domain.

But if I hadn't een _looking_ for a "domain doesn't match Received headers"
(actually I was searching for "Forged") I wouldnt have found this. I'm guessing
a lot of people who could make good use of a copy of this rule don't know it
exists.
