Thank you. That is a good suggestion. The message body is available here:

https://pastebin.com/S73gcDVj <https://pastebin.com/S73gcDVj>

I realise this message hits a bunch of other rules, but the question remains 
the same ;)

On a side note. I've not really been searching for it yet, but is there a 
preferred way to do a one-shot scan + analyse of a message with Spamassassin? 
Something any of you would use to analyse the message in this case, for example?

Grtz,
Samy
