Low Score - {Brazillian Host} Lottery Spam

Anyone else seeing these today? Or seen them recently?

http://pastebin.com/m4e25954f

score=0.1

Subject was real neat: 
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?WW91IFdvbiCjMQ==?=,750,000.00 GBP

You Won £750,000.00 GBP {surprised this did not bite}


End of the message is missing on the five of them that I've had (not a
paste error).

I get lots like them. I'm working on updating the Advance Fee rules, but 
they won't be released until 3.3.1

In my testbed with sandbox rules, that got:

  1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_FRM_MNY Advance Fee fraud and lots of money

Yes, there's some overlap; these _are_ testing rules, after all...

Contact me offlist if you want to install the sandbox rules for them, I'll 
give you instructions.

The existing ones are weak w/r/t non-USD currencies. That's one reason I 
started on the lotsa_money stuff.

Interesting.  I'm also surprised that doesn't hit one of the many
large-sum money checks.  Scored 5.2 for me (bayes_99 plus a few custom
rules of questionable utility).

Content analysis details:   (5.2 points, 5.0 required)

 pts rule name          description
---- ------------------ -------------------------------------
 3.9 BAYES_99           BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 99 to 100%
                        [score: 0.9998]
 0.6 KHOP_SC_TOP_CIDR8  Relay listed in SpamCop top 4 IP/8 CIDRs
-0.0 SPF_PASS           SPF: sender matches SPF record
 0.8 FROM_NOT_REPLY     From: and Reply-To: have different domains
 0.0 KHOP_NO_FULL_NAME  Sender does not have both First and Last names
 0.0 KHOP_NEW_TO_ME     New sender in new thread

Note that FROM_NOT_REPLY and KHOP_NEW_TO_ME are non-published rules.
The former requires a plugin.  KHOP_NO_FULL_NAME (now in khop-lists)
is zeroed and KHOP_SC_TOP_CIDR8 (from khop-sc-neighbors) is arguably
unfair given its broad range (though it certainly did its work here).
