Ratware as a rules file and rules name has been discontinued since last September. All Message ID rules should now be in the 70_sare_header*.cf files, with a SARE_MSGID_* name. j> You will see how great this storewide ssale is.

Some of the obfuscations in the sample you sent should already be picked up by the new 70_sare_obfu* files, and other rules are being tested (my mass-check is running as I type). j> There are too many creative ways to mangle words and still have the j> original meaning get through.

Agreed, but some manglings are popular enough to be worth writing a rule for, even if that rule pays off for only a month before that particular mangling is dropped. Yes, please send me a copy and I'll see if it has new manglings worth testing for. I suggest you compress the email file, so it doesn't hit any filters. :-) Bob Menschel
