phone number spam

[Rajkumar S]

Hi,

for last 2 days I am getting lot's of spam with phone numbers rather
than website or email address to contact spammer. Unfortunately the
only rules that are matching for these spam are the rbl ones. Any one
else seeing this type of new spam? Any one with some rule ideas?

A sample is at http://pastebin.ca/279774

The sample indicates you're running SpamAssassin-3.0.3.  That's
*old*.  Seriously consider upgrading to SpamAssassin-3.1.7.  Then
run sa-update.  Install the Botnet plugin.  That should score on the
sample you've given.  Also look at installing selected rules from
the SpamAssassin Rules Emporium if you aren't already doing so.

Thanks for the hint, I am on Debian Stable and the SA is installed
from .deb I will upgrde it from source and keep pace with SA upstream
than using Debian.
