Didn’t we do this about 4 months back?

Subject: [mailop] Spam Filtering Trick that could be easily adapted to Spam 
Assassin

This is a spam filtering trick I'm using but it's not SA, but could be easily 
adapted to SA or other filtering systems. I thought I'd share this for other to 
use or improve upon.

Rather that just scan for regex strings it's useful to have a way to tell what 
things the message is talking about and reduce those to a single token that 
represents a concept. Then the concepts can be combined to produce rules or fed 
into Bayes for automatic scoring.

Here's an example of concepts:



dear stranger

i need your information

offers lots of money

dying of something

worships god

bank account

transfer money

reply to me

trust me

africa

united nations

western union


Let me know if you find it useful.
