One thing I've been fiddling with for a while is a ruleset to detect
fill-in-the-form type stuff that you see a lot in scam emails. I've
recently modified it to use ReplaceTags, as the older non-tokenized
version has reached the point of unmaintainability.

If you're willing to try beta rules, you are welcome to download a
patched ReplaceTags plugin that implements multipass, and the FillForm
ruleset. As always, reduce the scores somewhat at first until you gain
confidence in the rules.

I get fairly good results against the fraud spams I get, but the results
against the SA masscheck are disappointing. I'd like to think that's
because the spam corpa don't have a lot of scam messages... :)

I'd appreciate some feedback if you do try the rules out, especially any
false positives with FILL_THIS_FORM_LONG.
