Variable subject line spam.
Hi,
I'm get alot of these February 77% OFF or variations (ie January 73%
OFF and my guess March 75% OFF next month) thereof in the subject
line for spam. The body always changes so I can't really key on this.
I would like to make rule that subject line filter this type of spam.
Thank you in advanced,
Frank

I get them too, but very rarely.
On the other hand I get per day over 700 Backscaters of this
subject which mean, Spamers are using MY E-Mail address.

Is that from Kohls? I have been annoyed with their spam quite a bit
lately. But I wouldn't block based upon the subject because I think
it would be too likely to have false positives on other mail.
Subject: 50% Off Sale, Wednesday Only
Subject: January Savings Sale + Free Shipping
Subject: Hurry, Bonus Buys End Monday
Subject: Two-Day Sale + Free Shipping Ends Wednesday
Subject: Shop Clearance & Save up to 80%!
Subject: FREE Shipping ends Saturday!
I blacklisted the sender. I eventually hope to have them respond to
my mailings to their abuse address and have them clean up their act.
I actually think they are an okay company that has simply fallen into
using a bad marketing company. I am hoping they clean up and go
straight.

I have never seen one of these, so just going from your description I can
write a rule. Whether it will match your actual spam (which I havne't seen)
I can't say.
header MO_PERCENT_OFF Subject =~
/(?:January|February|March|April|May)\s+\d\d\%\s+OFF\b/i
The above will cover you for about the first half of the year, add more
months as necessary.
