I¹ve been getting a significant number of spams that are hitting on a number of rules in 72_active.cf, for example:

ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW=0.001, ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_MONEY=0.001, AE_FORM_MONEY=2,
DKIM_SIGNED=0.1, DKIM_VALID=-0.1, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, L_P0F_Unix=-1,
RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE=-0.0001, RELAY_US=0.01, SPF_NEUTRAL=0.652,
T_FILL_THIS_FORM_SHORT=0.01, T_LOTS_OF_MONEY=0.01, US_DOLLARS_3=2.52

In the past couple of days, there have been around 700 spams that matched
one of the ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW rules, as well as 28 messages that were most
likely spams that were not marked.  Are we likely to see some of these rules
scored a little higher than 0.001 anytime soon?  Or do I need to start
tweaking the scores for the ones I find reliable?

I think I'm going to have to manually maintain the ADVANCE_FEE_*_NEW scores, the autoscoring doesn't seem to want to do a good job on them for some reason.

For now, I'd suggest something like:

  score  ADVANCE_FEE_2_NEW_MONEY  0.50
  score  ADVANCE_FEE_2_NEW_FORM   1.00
  score  ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW        0.50
  score  ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_MONEY  1.00
  score  ADVANCE_FEE_4_NEW        1.50
