I think this is not a phishing, more a fraud: it seems a real invoice for
something you didn't buy.

I'm glad to hear from experts that it's impossible to have 0 phishing, that
I'm not missing the "silver bullet" or the magic token.

I may perhaps implement ESP plugin, and subscribe to DQS, or add a OCR
plugin for those very annoying "pay the fine" scams. Really dubious about
enabling razor and pyzor for italian language.

Unfortunately my spamassassin, version 3.4.5, is embedded into Zimbra, and
it makes me really afraid of adding plugins...

Suggestions are always welcome
