Hello all you happy people,

While debugging a FP on ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW, I noticed that it included
body __FRAUD_JBU /\bforeign account\b/i
and
body __FRAUD_TCC /foreign (?:offshore )?(?:bank|account)/i

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't anything matching __FRAUD_JBU also
match __FRAUD_TCC? It also means that the phrase "foreign account" has
twice the weight of "computer ballot system", "affidavits" or "as the
beneficiary", which seems wrong.

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk/rules/20_advance_fee.cf
is the file in SVN trunk.

Is this worth raising as a bug (or improvement request)? Could someone
try variants of the ADVANCE_FEE rules without __FRAUD_JBU and see if
it performs better?

Unfortunately, I can't see enough of the original email, and would be
unlikely to have permission to supply it if I did.

Thanks,

James.
