Okay, got some samples online to look at:

http://66.213.231.82/spam/sample1.txt
http://66.213.231.82/spam/sample2.txt
http://66.213.231.82/spam/sample3.txt
http://66.213.231.82/spam/sample4.txt
http://66.213.231.82/spam/sample5.txt
http://66.213.231.82/spam/sample6.txt
http://66.213.231.82/spam/sample7.txt
(that is, every file in http://66.213.231.82/spam/)

If y'all could run 1 or 2 of them through your installs, I'd be
interested to know how they score and what rules they hit. TYVM, in
advance :)

Is there anything I need to know about the SARE rules? I see they're
not being updated at the moment... I've been wondering which ones are
'safe' to use, considering they all seem to be at least a year old. Do
the comments on the rulesemporium.com site still apply? Anything there
broken in SA-3.2.x I should care about?

As far as BOTNET goes... sounds interesting... I would definitely want
to push it's score down lower though. A single rule being enough to
flag a message bothers me. Will look into it, thanks :)
