That is there because Alex likely wishes to keep his real domain
private. Note that the envelope TO address is @example.com, which would
never be delivered, unless Alex really _does_ own the example.com
domain...

Alex, there's likely not much you can do. On a spam that short there's
not a lot to work with.

You could increase the score for URI_HEX.

If the form of the URI is consistent, perhaps something like this would
help:

  uri  URI_NUMERIC_CCTLD  m,^[a-z]+://(?:\d+\.){2,}[a-z][a-z]/,i

This is really suspicious:

  X-Mailer: Gentoo

Gentoo is an OS, not a MUA. Is that at all consistent? If so:

  header GENTOO_MUA  X-Mailer =~ /^Gentoo$/

Or perhaps this:

  header MUA_ONE_WORD  X-Mailer =~ /^[a-z]+$/i

(all untested, sorry)
