Really short spams are something SA alone isn't very good at. Fortunately systems like Razor are wonderful at them, and the DNS blacklists help too:

Using 2.42 I get:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=8.4 required=5.9
tests=CTYPE_JUST_HTML,MSGID_CHARS_SPAM,RAZOR2_CHECK,RCVD_IN_DSBL,
SPAM_PHRASE_00_01
version=2.42

It's very obvious this spammer was trying hard to avoid detection, note the mangling present in "r ap -ed" to prevent string matching of porn/spam filters.
