Ruleset to kill rolex spam

Apparently hawking Rolexes is the in thing with spammers these days.   I 
haven't seen any rulesets around that would help combat it, so I wrote 
one.

It's available at http://www.violetdreams.com/sa/rolex.cf if anyone would 
like to try it or critique it.

It was written and tested under SA 3.0.1.

Hi Peter, 

You use the * character in body rules.  For example, you do:

body __REAL_ROLEX_REPLICA1	/real.*replica.*role.?x/i

I got badly burned doing this sort of thing early on.  These rules
consume huge amounts of memory and processor time.  I would do
something like this instead:

body __REAL_ROLEX_REPLICA1	/real.{0,50}replica.{0,50}role.?x/i

Cordially,

Eric

If you'd like, you can use Eric Kolve's SpamCopURI SA patch to get
SURBL support within SA 2.63 or 2.64:

Ah, but it is still useful for those of us waiting for a suitable moment
to upgrade from SA 2.64 to 3.0.1.  The time-line at my place of work is
the US Thanksgiving holiday.  While everyone else is away from work for
the holiday, I'll be shutting down the mail server and upgrading all of
the software, including SA.  Looking forward to using SURBL, but it will
be a few more weeks before I can make the switch.

The Rolex ads have been driving me crazy for the past week or so.  I
have written a number of ROLEX rules of my own, but they're pretty
crude.  I don't have much time available to devote to proper rule
design.  A failed hard drive mirror and overheated capacitors on the
motherboard have been more pressing problems in October. :-(    Bayes
has been really slow to recognize the Rolex spams, despite the fact that
I've been feeding them to sa-learn for nearly a week.

In the last month performance of my SA system has dropped from about 98%
of spam detected to only about 90% for some accounts.  I'm not sure why
the sudden increase in false negatives.

i really dont think there is a need of rolex specific ruleset, Razor, 
DCC and URI checks took care of them for me.
