New PDF?

I have a few PDF's getting through now after doing pretty good, the
latest 0.4 pdfinfo + sa 3.1.7 + sare rules + sa-update is not scoring
enough on these:

http://esmtp.webtent.net/mail1.txt
http://esmtp.webtent.net/mail2.txt

Do I need to tweak my rules scores to catch or is someone else able to
block these otherwise? All of these seem to hit the same two rules,
would it be OK to test for only those two rules and block or raise their
score, or would that hit too much ham?

I don't know what the first rule is so have no information about its hit
rates.  The second one hits 0 ham in the SA nightly test runs.  If you aren't
likely to receive legit mails in a similar format, feel free to up that score.

The web page at <http://www.rulesemporium.com/plugins.htm> still identifies
it as 0.4 with a mod date 0f July 16, FYI. The linked file is 0.6, though.
