That one example smells like pure spam to me. Not phish, definitely not
a scam (though I didn't investigate much).

Funnily enough, the Sanesecurity.Spam.9216 found in the *scam* sigs [1]
does match. However, it translates to the RE
  m~http://cid-.{0,30}\.spaces\.live\.com/blog/cns~

This topic has been beaten to death recently...

No problem, as long as we're staying on-topic. ;)  Anyway, something
most new-ish users tend to get wrong is asking the right questions. Why
didn't you just ask how to catch these providing in example in the first
place, rather than asking something strange you *guessed* might help...

I you want to get your ClamAV on steroids -- sure, go ahead. If you want
to catch that spam, a trivial SA rule will do.


Back to that spam. I assume they are all quite similar in design, text,
and the spaces.live.com URI?

You can *easily* get the result of that SaneSecurity scam sig in SA.

uri      SANESEC_9216  m~http://cid-.{0,30}\.spaces\.live
\.com/blog/cns~
score    SANESEC_9216  5.0
describe SANESEC_9216  SaneSecurity.Spam.9216

There you go. Including a kill-level score for that rule, just like the
ClamAV third-party sig would have resulted in. Note though that I don't
advice to use that high a score. (Didn't --lint check the rule either,
mind you. ;)


Darly posted a very similar rule to this a while ago, triggering on the
strange cid- prefix in the live spaces URI. You can use that just as
well.

I asked, because I would have forwarded (parts) to the list anyway. :)
