short prolific spam

I am getting a bunch of particularly annoying spam which always has a short html body message similar to:

HELLO dude

Any ideas how to combat this spam?

Here is an example:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on smallgod.net

	*  0.4 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

HELLO dude

Lower your threshold to 5.

Re: short prolific spam

Hi there,

first, your threshold is high. You may want to lower it a little bit.

Then, if it's always the same phrase, rule it:

body    __AYOY    /HELLO dude/

Then meta this with other thing you may see a lot in those spams:

meta    ME_SPAM    RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB && __AYOY
score   ME_SPAM    2.0
meta    ME_DCC    DCC_CHECK && __AYOY
score    ME_DCC    2.0
meta    ME_GETRIDOFIT    ME_SPAM && ME_DCC
score    ME_GETRIDOFIT    2.0

You may also prefer to work with specific headers and this kind of
thing, but the basoc idea is there.

Hope this helps.

Alex, from prypiat.
Yes, I recycle.
