Blocking new spam wave

Hi all.

Since a few days ago I'm being buried under spam messages that slip through
my amavis/SA setup.
The messages all look alike: plaintext with random junk + URL in the body.
Pastebin with a few examples here: http://g2z.me/ed64d

I've tried running a sa-update but I don't have enough samples (yet). The
thing that bothers me is that all the messages have been classified as HAM
by the auto learn (which I have now disabled).
What could be an effective rule/ruleset to block emails like this?

Thanks,

Andrea

I assume you meant to say "sa-learn" rather than "sa-update"?

The main problem that I see with the scoring is that it is hitting on 
BAYES_00.  This may have been caused by auto-learn.  You need to 
manually learn these as spam using sa-learn to couteract that.

The emitting IPs appear to be on some fairly prominent blacklists :

65.20.0.50 http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/65.20.0.50.html 				Blacklisted: 10	Brownlisted: 0	Yellowlisted: 0	Whitelisted: 0
210.188.175.148 http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/210.188.175.148.html  	Blacklisted: 14	Brownlisted: 0	Yellowlisted: 0	Whitelisted: 0
217.16.6.131 http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/217.16.6.131.html 			Blacklisted: 17	Brownlisted: 0	Yellowlisted: 0	Whitelisted: 0


The problem, or at least part of it, is that the payloads are all redirects via compromised legitimate sites on hosting companies

for those who care, the ultimate payloads are:

mega-hot-sites . com
hot-hot-sites . com
lovely-sites . com

all sitting on 213.183.59.30  (anders. ru)

which has a couple NS SBLed, which cover all of the payloads (1):
