SARE_SPOOF_EBAYFORM - lots of false positives

2006-06-20 Thread Peter Campion-Bye
Last few genuine emails from ebay UK have started to trigger this rule. Might
be worth whoever is responsible for this one taking a look, in the meantime
I'll override the score to 0.

Can provide an example message if necessary, let me know (don't want to send
it to everyone as it's 37K)


Charity spam - is this a new kind of 419?

2006-04-24 Thread Peter Campion-Bye

Received the message below at the weekend. I could be completely wrong and
this is a genuine misguided attempt at recruiting charity workers, but it
looks to me like a new kind of 419 scam - if you show an interest I suspect
they will want bank account details and/or money up front.
Suspicious that she can't even decide how to spell her own surname!

RE: whitelist file

2005-12-21 Thread Peter Campion-Bye

 To Better-Scripters-Than-Me: would this work? I know there's probably a
better way, but if it works as written, it would avoid creating
duplicate email addresses.

Much easier to remove the duplicates with a 'sort -u' once you've finished
appending.





'meds' spam

2004-11-18 Thread Peter Campion-Bye

The only spam that's getting through on my system these days seems to have
'meds' and 'rx' in common. I would have thought that antidrug was the
ruleset to pick up stuff such as this:

--Spam Start---
Subject: meds saving zone

your assorted meds at better than Canadian pricing

A wide variety of medications for your paticular
eyes...Depression-Anxiety,
Muscle Relaxants, Pain Relief, Sexual Health, Sleeping Aids, drugs for
weight reduction, allergy...

overnight delivery for meds

gorgeous service for quality rx meds at low price

Internet pharmacy really makes things easier for me. Now I don't even step
out of the room to get rx refilled and meds delivered to my door.  --Delta
--Spam End-

but this message scores nothing for content, apart from BAYES_80 which is
not enough to push it over the threshold...

  X-Spam-Score: 3.19 BAYES_80,RCVD_IN_SBL,SPF_HELO_PASS,URIBL_SBL

Is there a ruleset I should be using to pick this stuff up?
I've put in a custom rule to pick up meds in the subject:

header  PCB_MEDSSubject =~ /(?:\bmeds|meds\b)/i
describePCB_MEDSSubject contains meds
score   PCB_MEDS5

Before I start adding body rules to pick up words like those in the
message above, is there already something around that does the job?
Thanks
