My rules are attached. Here's the story behind them. Over the past month I got about 15 FN's in my personal account that all were clearly from the same spammer. They all had the same format... red headline, black body, blue link. They all obfuscated with periods and they all had a bunch of WEIRD sentences at the bottom that were probably to throw off bayes. I searched the web for these sentences and found them all on some high school girl's web page. They were all vocab sentences for some homework assignment. This spammer had clearly stolen the text of her page and was adding random sentences from this list to his emails. I just made a list of rules to match each sentence (Which are REALLY obscure and I doubt would ever match ham. Admittedly, I didn't test them as I'm still working out my Outlook corpus issues). I scored them super high in a fit of rage. You may want to adjust scores so they are not so drastic. They have worked great for me in the past few days to catch a handful of messages that would have slipped through otherwise. YMMV but enjoy. And by all means: I know about this much || about regex so all suggestions are MORE than welcomed. I don't even know if I escaped the right characters. cheers, Colin Colin A.
