Salesforce web bug

I noticed an email from salesforce has a 'user tracking' web bug in it
but it isn't currently detected by SA or SARES

( I removed the real numbers after oid so it doesn't cause FP's here ;-)

</html><img
src="http://na3.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.ImageServer?oid=000000000
00&esid=000000000000"><br><br><DIV style="display:none;"></DIV>

Would this find it?

uri SALESFORCE_WEBBUG
m'http://.*salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.ImageServer\?oid.*esid'i
describe SALESFORCE_WEBBUG Sender has Salesforce Email tracking enabled
score SALESFORCE_WEBBUG 1.0

Would you better prefer a rawbody and img src match?

In general I'd agree with you, but here we're talking very
specifically about SalesForce.  Is there evidence, for example, of
someone using SalesForce to send spam?

Bugs in mail messages are generally a suspicious circumstance, and probably 
good for a fractional point all by themselves.  In general any tracking that 
will auto-identify without the user at least clicking on something is 
suspicious.

Why do you want to consider this a spam sign?  I'm just curious.
