One of my spamtraps is getting a lot of traffic of messages with
Facebook and Twitter URLs. This is content that is coming from Yahoo
servers, although shows non-Yahoo return addresses, and some portion
have missing subject lines.
On further inspection, I find that the MISSING_SUBJECT, and in turn, I
see by inspecting the message headers, that the subject header is
rendered as "subject:" (with lower-case "s"), rather than "Subject:"
Is case-sensitivity causing that particular rule to miss, and is there a
way to set a regexp to look specifically for that particular pattern?
I think I've found enough other rules hits to make for a distinct
fingerprint, so that I can go after this stuff with a local rule, but to
me, the case error in the header coming from a misconfigured robomailer
seems to be a pretty reliable indicator.
