Description Cedric Knight 2012-05-09 14:47:30 UTC 
REMOVE_BEFORE_LINK hits mostly ham for me, such as "38 Degrees" and "Movember" newsletters, matching ""unsubscribe here: http://" and "unsubscribe here. : http://".

http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_3_x.html shows a net-bayes score of 1.800.  Score was 0.001 in 3.2, so in the absence of a diverse ham corpus, can the score be held lower?

As there won't be an update pushed as fast as you may hope for, adapt the score locally.
(I dare assume you contribute with daily masschecks)
Comment 2 Giovanni Bechis 2018-01-19 23:27:21 UTC 
Nowadays REMOVE_BEFORE_LINK score is: 0.406 1.587 1.799 1.800
I think this bz could be closed.
Comment 3 Kevin A. McGrail 2018-01-20 18:09:13 UTC 
Agreed.  Without a sample, I haven't seen it be a huge issue.
