Brandy spanky new drug spam trick

From: "Cialis $89, Soma $59, Viagra $69" <lp...@yahoo.co.uk>

Guess what? It passes right through all the tests because the drugs
are never mentioned in the body of the mail.

JD - performance suggestion. When doing a (a|b) type construct, add ?:
to disable backreferences. It saves some memory and speeds the regex
execution. The only drawback is you can't use a backreference (\1) later
in the regex, but if you're not using it, that's not a drawback at all.

header JD_FROM_DRUG_1   From =~ /(?:viagra|cialis| soma)\b/i

Odd, I typed that correctly in the user_prefs and transcribed it
wrong here.
header JD_FROM_DRUG_1   From =~ /(viagra|cialis| soma)\b/i

This helps, too, Bob. {^_-} Do it to me once and I suggest a new rule.
Do it to me twice and you get insulted. {^_-}

===8<---
header JD_FROM_DRUG_1   From =~ /[viagra|cialis| soma]\b/i
describe JD_FROM_DRUG_1 Sneaky drug twerbles
score JD_FROM_DRUG_1    10
===8<---

I'll be sure to install the new rules because I expect someone will
start obfuscating it. Of course "$" and "dollars" and other currency
notations probably do not appear in many ham from headers. So that's
held in reserve.

The next version of the SARE header rules should help out...
