I find it funny that the spammers are simply trying to use legit tags now that they can't use fake. However empty tags are just as obvious. Nice rules people! I'm going to have a busy Monday! We have been wanting an accumulating eval rule for a loooong time :-) Could be a new type, but based on which current type? I think we would need 2, accubody and accurawbody. Then you would just right a rule: accubody ACCU_mortgage /mortgage/i decribe ACCU_mortgage number of times mortgage found in spam score .03 #for each instance. Wouldn't that be nice!? But I refuse to ask the devs for anything that I'm not willing to try to do myself. They are busy enough. So this kind of stuff is on my looong wish list of things I want to try.
