Re: Investor and Stock spam

[Richard Ozer]

I was having the same problem.  I found that I had inadvertantly removed 
chickenpox.cf from my custom ruleset.  Once it went back in, it caught many 
of the stock scams.  I then added mangled.cf and I seem to have gotten rid 
of them.  These stock scam messages also tend to score low in Bayes... many 
of them had Bayes_00 because they tend to be filled with legitimate business 
language.  It's important to train the Bayes database with these so, at 
worst, they end up Bayes neutral.

Subject: Investor and Stock spam

I have been lurking for a while and finally come up for air.  I recently 
upgraded to 3.0.2, added appropriate rulesemporium.com rulesets (removed the 
old 2.6X rules), and modified some scores for our clients.  We are still 
getting a ton (100-150) investor/stock spams a day.  Just checking to see if 
anyone has seen this problem and written a rule to score these emails.  If 
not, I will write my first rule, test it, and then send it to 
rulesemporium/spamassassin list for any recommendations.

Thanks and happy spam hunting.
