Re: [SAtalk] Nigerian spam scores 3.1 in SA 2.43?

[Matt Kettler]

The Nigerian scam rules need a serious revisiting. These spams are mutating to avoid the high-scoring rules, and the "general" rules like NIGERIAN_TRANSACTION1 hit a modest amount of nonspam so they don't wind up scoring high enough. They are also mutating heavily enough to avoid razor in many cases, which was another large contributor to SA's ability to catch Nigerian scams.

0.208 0.899 0.072 0.93 0.51 0.20 NIGERIAN_TRANSACTION_1

In the past, all the strength was in this rule, but mutations have caused it to be a low-hit frequency rule. The GA didn't even score it it hit so rarely.

0.001 0.006 0.000 1.00 0.48 1.00 NIGERIAN_SCAM

It was obviously nigerian spam, and doesn't seem to be any different from
other ones (other than coming from the Nigerian National Petroleum
