[Bug 3788] New: New pill spam rules

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3788

           Summary: New pill spam rules
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lwilton@earthlink.net


Noticed a low scoring pill spam this morning that had no identifying marks 
other than the name of the image file.  Turns out a simple rule for this hits 
over 2% of all spam on a corpus check, and no spam.

Original rule simply tested for a gif file of the right name.  Modification 
tests for several other image file types, and increases hit rate slightly, 
still 100% spam.  Extra rule complexity may or may not be worth the increased 
hitrate.

Suggest one or the other be incorporated into standard rules.  (Is currently 
going into SARE rules.)
