1) This is where Bayes excels. Feed them to Bayes as confirmed spam; the
tokens will add up quite quickly.

2) I've been collecting these into rules which identify the use of masked
words, eg:
body     L_b_MaskedW0rds  
/L0SE|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|si0n|casin0|0nline|m0re|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|F0r|d0|[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|m0ve|ph
[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i
describe L_b_MaskedW0rds   masked spam word(s)
score    L_b_MaskedW0rds   0.1
body     L_b_MaskedW0rds2 
/WeIcome|Mldget|AnimaI|sieix|E\}\{treme|FlSTlng|Tatt00ed|Iadies|MasslVE|Io
ads|BlZarre|hardc0re|0bscene|AmaZlNG|SENsatl0NAL|SlCkenlNG/i
body     L_b_MaskedW0rds3  /\bl[i1]v[e3]
.{0,9}(?:fuck(?:[i1]ng)?|s[e3]x|nak[e3]d|g[i1]rls?|v[i1]rg[i1]ns?|t[e3][e3
]ns?|p[0o]rn[0o]?)\b/i
body     L_b_MaskedW0rds4 
/\b(excIusive|GiangBiang|sIut|ganigbainged|duides|hairdciore|ExcIude|pIz)/
i

I have another set which looks for similar items in subject headers. I've
just begun using these, so my scores are set very low right now, while I
check for errors in the rules, false positives, etc. Once I'm comfortable
and confident with them, the scores will be raised to much higher levels.

On a related topic, which I think I've seen asked before but don't
remember seeing an answer, which is better (more efficient) within SA:
single rules with many alternatives such as I have above, or many rules
with few alternatives? Does one form use less computer resources than
another?
