Right: the suggested pattern is working great, but there are some
variants as KAM says.

However I sense that these are not the same bots. The one with the "date
in body" is always the same (the spammer only changed the date format).

I heard about a cross site botnet exploit on Yahoo! and third party
website, but did not digged into that.

Here is what is working fine for me:

    body     __AJB_DATE_IN_BODY   
    m'\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}\s(\d{1,2}:){2}\d{2} [AP]M'
    uri     __AJB_RANDOMURI  
    
m'/[a-z]{2,10}/[a-z1-9]{1,30}(\.[a-z1-9]{1,10}\?[a-z1-9]{1,30}|[\=\&][a-z1-9]{1,30})'
    meta    AJB_YAHOO_BOT     AJB_REALYAHOO && HTML_MESSAGE &&
    __AJB_DATE_IN_BODY && __AJB_RANDOMURI
    score   AJB_YAHOO_BOT     10.0
    meta         AJB_REALYAHOO     __AJB_FROM_YAHOO && __RCVD_YAHOO
    header         __AJB_FROM_YAHOO  From:addr =~ /\@yahoo\.c(a|om)/i
    header         __RCVD_YAHOO     Received =~ m'\.yahoo\.c(a|om) .+ by
    \S+\.zerospam\.ca'm


Pretty the same as what David suggests :-)

Also noticed that the To:, Reply-To: headers and the name in the
signature in the body matches. Wanted to code a plugin but the previous
rules are doing the job so...

Yes, I recycle.
