I'm wondering if anyone has any good ideas to catch gift card scam emails.  This latest version came from Gmail, and has valid DKIM records and the IPs are whitelisted.

Thanks,

Here's the hits from SpamAssassin:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.3 required=5.0 tests=DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID,

And here's the body:

(link to the body in a paste bin next time)

I catch the vast majority of these in postfix header_checks that look for the boss' name and a few minor variants in From: and reject if the sending address isn't the right one. This works well enough for us since there are a limited number of $boss targets here.  This has also cut down on the "send a payment to" and other social engineering scams that claim to be from the boss.

You could do the same thing in SA if you don't have too many $boss targets.

I've not had much success with generalized rules - too many folks here talk about gift cards in legit mail, some of it actually business-related.

Good luck.
