Which additional rules are you using?
I am using MailScanner and I haven't written or using any other rules
except using spam.blacklist of MailScanner for blocking spammers.

That depends on what they contain. If the body is mostly image, try the
ImageInfo plugin from www.rulesemporium.com or FuzzyOCR.
I have installed and configured FuzzyOCR on the mailserver.

There was code posted to this list recently that detaches e-mails from a
forwarded message so the original e-mail can be learned. Note that this
only works if your e-mail client can forward a message by enclosing it
in a new message. You can probably do that with Outlook/Express by
Forwarding from a list without a preview pane or by selecting multiple
messages to forward.
If you can't find the code in the list archive, I probably have it
somewhere.
If you can give me a hint about the software that will help me in
searching in the archives.
