I maintain the Subject rules file for SARE, and would like to refine/rescore SARE_SUB_CASH_CHAR to help avoid your FPs. I'll also forward the info to the SARE ninja that maintains our Random rules file. >> WIKI Rules >> MANGLED_LIST >> MANGLED_LIPS >> J_CHICKENPOX_12 >> J_CHICKENPOX_22 All of these are language-related rules, which work well in English, might be subject to an occasional misfire in a non-English Western European language, and can readily misfire in any non-Latin/non-Romance language. If you regularly get non-spam in Japanese, you should probably drop the entire MANGLED and CHICKENPOX families. If you're using Tripwire, you should drop that also since it too can misfire on Japanese non-spam. Bob Menschel
