Actually 6 out of the 14 messages in your corpus are from these people. They
frequently change URLs so it's hard to recognize them. But they all have the
same sparse format and similar URLs that match some of the rules I posted.
They tend to be affiliate spam - the URLs redirect you to a legitimate
business (such as Columbia House) using an affiliate code that makes them
money.

They also tend to match the CTYPE_JUST_HTML and WEB_BUGS rules, both of
which have near-zero scores in 2.43. I raise the score on both of those
locally because they don't cause false positives for me.

These folks are serious spammers. They even register each of the domain
names to look legit. Look up findhsm-list-cluster-182-643.com or any of the
others, they're all registered to Daily Promotions. (It's a shame a WHOIS
lookup would be expensive, or this would make an excellent eval test.)
