It probably got lost due to word wrap (I *did* warn about that in my 
original posting, didn't I?);  the line is just over 100 characters long 
in my rule files.

I too just started running these rules, but noticed there were a lot
more NICE_GIRL_02's than NICE_GIRL_01's being hit (about twice as many
of the former).

I think you need to change:

body NICE_GIRL_01 /Hello! I am (?:bored|tired)
(?:today|this(?:afternoon|evening)|tonight)\./

to:

body NICE_GIRL_01 /Hello! I am (?:bored|tired) (?:today|this
(?:afternoon|evening)|tonight)\./

(ie add a  after the word "this").

to catch them all.

NICE_GIRL_01 was only catching:

Hello! I am bored today.
Hello! I am bored tonight.
Hello! I am tired today.
Hello! I am tired tonight.

But none of the afternoon/evening variations.

I left my rule more non-specific because I saw a number of non-.info 
domains early on.  I also figured there was little point in stuffing in 
all of the glop necessary to match an email address when the rest of the 
message was so stable.

I do this too and it works nicely...

But sometimes I get the messages too fast in to put the new DOMAIN into
the list which has now over 780 lines/domains. 

SO I have written a small script which write a logfile containing the
serialtime and the domain found to let anoter tool analyze it to remove
domains which are not more used since one year.

Apparently that won't work on all systems... (And that's why I ran into

On my SUSE system, I have to add the 0 as well, simply {,74} won't do,

I have been running this rule for a day now, and am trapping the spams with
rules 1 and 2.
Curiously I have now starting picking these up on Bayes as well.

Thanks for your help, and to everyone who responded.

It doesn't, but it *does* avoid a bit of a speed penalty.  See Bob

Using (?: avoids creating backreferences.  It should be slightly
faster if the backreference is not used.

  (?:bored|tired)

Is the same as:

  (bored|tired)

But without creating \1 or $1 reference to it.

SpamAssassin is written in Perl and uses PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular
Expressions).  Those are not quite the same as standard Extended
Regular Expressions.  For a full description see the 'perlre' man page.

  man perlre

   "(?:pattern)"
   "(?imsx-imsx:pattern)"
 This is for clustering, not capturing; it groups
 subexpressions like "()", but doesn’t make
 backreferences as "()" does.  So

 @fields = split(/\b(?:a|b|c)\b/)

 is like

 @fields = split(/\b(a|b|c)\b/)

 but doesn’t spit out extra fields.  It’s also cheaper
 not to capture characters if you don’t need to.

 Any letters between "?" and ":" act as flags
 modifiers as with "(?imsx-imsx)".  For example,

 /(?s-i:more.*than).*million/i

 is equivalent to the more verbose

 /(?:(?s-i)more.*than).*million/i

HTH,
Bob

by the way, just to get back to this original topic -- my "sought.cf"

Botnet "as is" is way dangerous for an ISP, but for personal defence it works 
fine. I have it at 4.0 and have got no false positives because of it.

All it takes is a Unix/Linux user who does not know about smart hosts to get 
tagged as an FP... but I do not now such.

If some of my friends got tagged because of that, I would tell him about the 
dangers about having an own mail server w/o a smarthost... and then whitelist 
him.

But so far, no false positives. Botnet gets lots of spam and no false positives.

But then again, if I were an ISP I would set the score to .1 or something.

This rule should be resistant to FPs:

body HC_GIRL/\bnice girl that would like to chat.{1,16}Email
me at \
.{1,32}\.info.{1,120}\bpic(ture)?s\b/
describe HC_GIRLGirl with pics scam
scoreHC_GIRL5

Mind the linebreak :-)

Cheers,

Phil

While this rule will catch the spams you are looking for, IMHO the FP rate
will be quite high. I would avoid using * and try to place boundries in this
rule. In short, no way I would use this on my system. Just my opinion.

scoring BOTNET at 5.0  dont you get far too many FP's 
Besides how do you get clamav to score a plain text mail. Are you using
the clam signatures for spam

My box catches these with the below and this is what ClamAv tags it as:

X-Spam-Virus: Yes (MSRBL-SPAM.NiceGirl.2697)

Content analysis details:   (37.5 points, 5.0 required)

 pts rule name              description
 -- --
 5.0 BAYES_99               BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 99 to 100%
                            [score: 1.]

 0.0 DIGEST_MULTIPLE        Message hits more than one network digest check
 0.1 RDNS_NONE              Delivered to trusted network by a host with no 
rDNS
 1.0 SAGREY                 Adds 1.0 to spam from first-time senders

So even without running the ClamAv plug-in this would still get 27 points.

you usually wait for the first mail and then block all mails containing
the domain

Besides this I have other rules that look for "am a? ?nice girl" etc , I
use them in combination. But those are too YMMV types
