Really strange, how little changes can have so huge effects.

Well, then.

OK, so in effect we return SMTP or ESMTP.

I still don't understand the +.

I did my personal test.

<INITIAL>E?SMTP
in my version of lexer does not change any score. And it
gets the size down.

The same in your version of lexer passes "make check".

/*
 * Our lexical analysis is different from Paul Graham's rules: 
 *
 * We throw away headers that are readily identifiable as dates.
 * We throw away all digit strings that don't look like IP address parts.
 * We thow away lines beginning with <tab>id<space> -- mailer UDs.
 * We throw away *all* tokens of length 1 or 2.
 *
 * These are optimizations to keep the token lists from bloating.
 * The big win is recognizing machine-generated unique IDs that
 * we'll never see again and shouldn't 
 *
 * We don't treat dot between two alphanumerics as a separator,
 * because we want to keep domain names and IP addresses together as 
 * recognizable units. 
 *
 * Having done the above, there isn't much need to recognize URLs.  
 * If a URL is a spam indicator, very likely any other URL from the
 * same site is as well, so the hostname part should be an adequate
 * statistical trigger.  
 *
 * LEXED_TOKENS, which are found in "msg-count" files need a special pattern
 * because they can be:
 *	1 - normal bogofilter tokens
 *	2 - url:xxx and subj: tokens
 *	3 - mime boundaries
