If you want the rule to actually start being worth something, split it
up. Right now it lumps a lot of Windows email packages that are used by
real, normal companies to send email in with a bunch of SPAM-specific
tools.
Break the rule up into individual tests for the different email packages
and let it run. Aside from the better scoring for what is and isn't a
real mail package, this will probably run faster in many cases as a
simple string match, not a regexp, is used.
