If you know the header contains an exact string on a single line:

HEADERS      1 PCRE     (?m:^Message-ID:blahblahblah)


Set the score weight as you like.

If you want to do a case-insensitive search, change "?m:" to "?im:"

If the text inside the blahblahblah would match regexp reserved strings,
you should/must escape them with backslashes. In this case:


HEADERS      1 PCRE     (?m:^Message-ID:
<1341147286\.19774\.androidMobile@web140302\.mail\.bf1\.yahoo\.com>)


Keep in mind that if Terry Zink reported this correctly, then these are
legitimate email clients that are being abused by a trojan on those
handhelds, so you might be throwing out the baby with the bathwater and
blocking some legitimate mail as spam just because they came from a
certain platform.

On the other hand, if these are legitimate clients, the numeric part of
that Message-ID must be unique per message, which makes it likely that
Terry Zink is wrong, and that this is a fake header and footer and
therefore a) safe to block because only spam is using it, and b) the
spammer will soon change this signature and scanning for it it will be a
waste of your CPU time.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Android Yahoo Mail app spam



http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/android-botnet-army-spouting-
spam-yahoo-mail-app?source=NWWNLE_nlt_daily_pm_2012-07-05



The spam messages share two similarities, Zink, who discovered the
botnet, explained in a blog post
<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tzink/archive/2012/07/03/spam-from-an-android-b
otnet.aspx> . First, each message closes with the signature "Sent from
Yahoo! Mail on Android." Secondly, they all share a message ID that
reads:

Message-ID:
<1341147286.19774.androidmob...@web140302.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

Is there a preferred way to look for the message header?  This way,
these can be scored high enough to delete.  We're seeing large amounts
of these the last week.



Thanks
