6 sample mails
Lately I've seen a whole spectrum of politically motivated SPAM mails. The
political aims were quite different, but they had in common a request for me to
write a petition to all / the opposing senators and / or congressmen via fax.
Some offered to do the faxing for me. In any case, I believe that rules
matching the words
/senators?/i
/congressm[ae]n/i
/fax/i
/petitions?/i
might all be indicative of this kind of spam. Especially if 1 or 2 occurs
together in the same e-mail as 3 or 4.

There are plenty of legitimate PAC lists that would have those words. For
example, I subscribe to DownsizeDC, and I'll bet NRA and GOA would hit a lot on
it, too. So might various MoveOn-related opt-in groups.
