It can work with rawbody rules, but they have problems of their own. > The 's' flag would be necessary here.

Most SpamAssassin rules operate on derived data stored with native line endings.

I'll rephrase that as: without much impact on existing rules.

You can sometimes work around it with rawbody rules. I don't know why body rules work that way. If the normalized body were stored as single-line paragraphs separated by newlines (perhaps broken into large blocks), it would make make it possible to write more reliable body rules without changing the behaviour of existing rules.

Yes you are right... the question is how to "regex" along different paragraphs...

Sure, thanks Antony... I want i to detect multiple consecutive strings separated by a carriage return, like this: apache apache apache apache something like: body __REPEATED_APACHES /^apache$/ tflags __REPEATED_APACHES multiplemetaREPEATED_APACHES __REPEATED_APACHES > 3 will do the job BUT is not valid because it will trigger as well in a body like this: apache apache Groucho apache apache where apaches are not consecutive... -PedroD
