I just checked mine -- sure enough, yes, they ARE spam.

Both above are hand-classified corpora exclusively containing fraud.
Intended for the Sought Fraud rule-set. Especially fraud is commonly
sent via cracked accounts, including a high percentage of web-mail
accounts.

There are 6 fraud spam in my corpus, originally received via a system
listed in DNSWL, 5 unique systems. 2 systems listed MED (3 spams), 3
systems listed LOW (of which one has been downgraded to NONE since).

4 out of these 6 scams (3 out of 5 unique systems) are universities.

The majority of them seems to have been sent from Outlook, and/or abused
MS Exchange systems. Also kind of noteworthy, a good portion of them
*tried* spam-filtering their outgoing mail, but quite clearly failed.

I do not even scan them. In my mix, there is only a single, rather
special mailing list, which is open. No spam on the other lists.
