Okay, THIS is a little silly for sourceforge, at least for the SA list:

(now re-editing to remove the offending word - hopefully a 1 replacing the i
will suffice. I feel like a spammer now)

First off, I personally don't see any spam advertising vicodin (v1agra,
yes!), and this is something that I *have* discussed via email (I broke my
toe). So it would be a huge false positive generator for me.

In regards to your rules point:

spaminator% grep BAYES_99 /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf
score BAYES_99 0 0 5.400 5.400

I think bayes is your answer (as others have suggested).

You certainly can tweak scores that you think necessary, but do be careful!
I've done this myself in the past and ended up generating more false
positives that way, from phrases you would never think would be in ham.
