Subject: [RulesEmporium] Longwords
===8<==============Original message text===============
Received an email this morning which reminded me about my longwords
rules, which apparently got lost when I migrated my mass-check system
from my mail server to my PC.
This was my exploration of the random words spammers have been including
at the bottom of their emails, or in their text portions, or in their
invisible text, to confuse some anti-spam software. (I call these words
Bayes Fodder, since over time it seems they are helping my Bayes identify
spam better and better and better.)
Anyway, I rebuilt, reran, refined, and:

Scores of course are set to my 9.0 required hits, so you'll probably want
to lower these scores. Depending on your system, an initial score of 0.5
or 1.0 for each rule might be worth while, and then you can increase the
scores slowly if these spam continue to sneak past your system.
In my 19k corpus, one ham matches three of these rules, two of which I've
scored at 3.0, and so that ham gets a score of 7.0 of 9. I may be
reducing those rules to 2.5 or 2.0 instead of 3.0 once I complete my next
global mass-check. So yes, caution is advised.
