Spamassassin was released (If my google is correct) 08-05-2004.

More than 2 years ago.

Time to upgrade.

YOu can't, and if at all possible you should upgrade so you can.  There is 
lots of new stuff that will help in quite a lot of cases.

That said, the SARE stock rules will help some, although possibly not for 
the specifc case that is goving you problems.  Those are pretty close to 
immune to almost everything but some net tests and the FuzzyOCR plugin.

Oh - you should be running net tests if you aren't already.

As many others have said, an upgrade is definitely in order. A 2 year
old copy of spamassassin just can't keep up, no matter what rulesets you
add to it.  A significant portion of SA's accuracy comes from the
codebase updates, not the rules.

That said, as a stopgap measure, make sure you're using the stocks
ruleset from rulesemporium.com. Most of these image spams are for stock
pump-and-dump, so this ruleset has some image-spam rules built in. As
you've seen, a few pill spammers are using them too, but the rules in
stocks work the same.

I've also found that a lot of these messages match SpamHaus's XBL, so
make sure your SA uses this list. (I know current versions do, but I'm
not sure about 2.64).

>From there, it's all plugins.

SPF works on a few, but that's standard plugin for any SA over 3.0.0.

 ImageInfo and/or FuzzyOCR are quite helpful. But those are addons for
SA 3.1.x.
