Rules

Can someone explain to me why one of the rule sets downloaded using SA-Update could not fire on:
 
Subject: cenogenetic
 
and the body having only and nothing else but:
 
Performing Cunnilringus -- An Art of Pleasure.www.onlyviagra net
 
I thought a "sex" rule would have fired as well as something for pleasure.www.onlyviagra net
 
This is pretty basic and straight forward isn't it?

It's basic modulo an infinite variety of misspellings. The more open you 
are to misspellings, the more likely you'll have FPs.

The URI obfu rules are not yet in the base rule set, you have to add one 
of the variants to your local ruleset manually - and, if you're using mine 
from the SA sandbox, you have to get the patched ReplaceTags plugin as my 
URI obfu rule tickles a bug in Replacetags.

   False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real

   take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown
   in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws
   that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They
   disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit
   crime.               -- Cesare Beccaria, quoted by Thomas Jefferson

That's old. Lose the ?revision... bit to see the current version.

I found the only ruleset that catches this to be:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/sandbox/jhardin/20_uri_obfu_ws.cf?revision=795578

And then only the last two rules fired.

Did it not occur to you that "ho" might have been a typo for hoe?

"tough row to hoe" makes perfect sense

What's wrong with "whore"? Why is it "ho" now?

How do you "ho" a row anyways?

Mixed metaphors, no emulsifiers--shaken, not stirred?

This is a tough row to ho, and I've not gone down this road in a while but
cunillingus is misspelt, potentially leading to the lack of reaction. By
your rules.
