           Summary: FROM_STARTS_WITH_NUMS matches on text-to-email
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.3.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jason@i6ix.com

>From a thread on the users list of the same name, this rule is matching on
messages sent from cell phones via text-to-email. Specifically, the From:
address is crafted in the format [phone_number]@carrier.com. Martin Gregorie
has crafted a new rule that appears to meet the intent of the original rule,
but does not match when the From: address is all numbers.

describe MG_STARTSWITH_NUM Sender address starts with numbers
header MG_STARTSWITH_NUM From =~ /\d{6,}[a-z._-][a-z0-9._-]{0,50}@/i

Can someone comment on the old rule, the new rule, or put this in their sandbox
for masschecks?
