In a very limited manner. There is code in the repo that allows you to set
up ham and spam corpora and scan the spam corpora to pick out common
phrases and filter them via the ham corpora, then create rules.based on
the phrases and (IIRC) combinations of them.
This was being used to generate dynamic fraud rulesets (the "sought"
rules, still somewhat there as ADVANCE_FEE rules which I occasionally
manually update) until Justin Mason left the project. It's been
languishing since as he was providing the resources (infra and
maintenance) to run it for those rules. I was feeding those corpora for a
long time.
Take a look in the repo at the stuff under:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/masses/rule-dev/
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/masses/evolve_metarule/
I don't know whether the project would be willing to set up infra to
revive dynamic advance fee fraud (or more general) rule generation, but
it's possible if someone was willing to bring that code up-to-date and
figure out what was needed and corpora providers were available.

Are you a mildly tech-literate politico horrified by the level of
ignorance demonstrated by lawmakers gearing up to regulate online
technology they don't even begin to grasp? Cool. Now you have a
tiny glimpse into a day in the life of a gun owner. -- Sean Davis
