Well, Vivek has a point -- that the tool used is not ratware, it's used by
legit mass-mailers too, so a test to catch that tool will catch FPs.  A
better test would be then to match some other attribute of the message.

True ratware tests are aimed at tools used *only* by spammers -- ie.  the
tools will disguise addresses, insert forged Received lines, etc.
This isn't one of those, sounds like.
