Maybe there was a rule parse error on an earlier rule.
Try running spamassassin --lint to check the rules, and see it turns
up anything.
A couple of suggestions:
1. Don't use .* -- it is unbounded and cen be really slow on a long message.
Use something line .{0,16}, where the choice of 16 is arbitrary, and should
be tuned to the context you're using the pattern within.
2. For this one
body MY_GIRLFRIEND /girlfriends?/i
The trailing s? is redundant, since if it matches girlfriend it will also
match girlfriends.
3. Use word boundaries (/b) where appropriate, as in:
body MY_GIRLFRIEND /\bgirlfriend/

> my girlfriends" which should activate the last.

> Yet the headers don't show any of this.
