Medical tablets spams

Example is here

http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/spam001.txt

They go past spamassassin. I use latest sare rules, run rules du jour
nightly etc. 

I catch them after spamassassin, using my own filter, using regex 

edrx\s*\.com\b

I wonder why spamassassin cannot identify them.

Botnet and Bayes did the trick for me, albeit I have BAYES_99 set to
score higher than standard:

See the bottom of that ruleset. It says how to fix these errors. You 
need to remove a few #*#'s if I recall. We had a big discussion on this 
on the sare-users list I run. 8*)

I get the SARE_RD_SAFE and SARE_RD_SAFE_MKSHRT rules from the
72_sare_redirect_post3.0.0.cf file.  I have version 2.9.3 from 5/14/06
of this file.  Do you have the current SARE rulesets or are they a
little out of date.

I don't have any errors about the SARE rules and "spamassassin --lint"
does not flag any issues.

David, very interesting. I enabled DCC as you suggested, but it is not
taking effect -- I piped this message through SA and it did not detect
BOTNET rules. 

I also got these errors:
