Low Score - {Brazillian Host} Lottery Spam

Anyone else seeing these today? Or seen them recently?

http://pastebin.com/m4e25954f

score=0.1

Subject was real neat:
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?WW91IFdvbiCjMQ==?=,750,000.00 GBP

You Won £750,000.00 GBP {surprised this did not bite}


End of the message is missing on the five of them that I've had (not a
paste error).

Interesting. I'm also surprised that doesn't hit one of the many
large-sum money checks. Scored 5.2 for me (bayes_99 plus a few custom
rules of questionable utility).

Content analysis details: (5.2 points, 5.0 required)

pts rule name description
---- ------------------ -------------------------------------
3.9 BAYES_99 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 99 to 100%
[score: 0.9998]
0.6 KHOP_SC_TOP_CIDR8 Relay listed in SpamCop top 4 IP/8 CIDRs
-0.0 SPF_PASS SPF: sender matches SPF record
0.8 FROM_NOT_REPLY From: and Reply-To: have different domains
0.0 KHOP_NO_FULL_NAME Sender does not have both First and Last names
0.0 KHOP_NEW_TO_ME New sender in new thread

Note that FROM_NOT_REPLY and KHOP_NEW_TO_ME are non-published rules.
The former requires a plugin. KHOP_NO_FULL_NAME (now in khop-lists)
is zeroed and KHOP_SC_TOP_CIDR8 (from khop-sc-neighbors) is arguably
unfair given its broad range (though it certainly did its work here).

I get lots like them. I'm working on updating the Advance Fee rules, but
they won't be released until 3.3.1

In my testbed with sandbox rules, that got:

pts rule name description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
0.5 LOTTO_AGENT BODY: Claims Agent
1.0 FILL_THIS_FORM_LONG BODY: Fill in a form with personal information
1.0 LOTTO_YOU_WON You won!
0.0 LOTS_OF_MONEY Huge... sums of money
1.0 FILL_THIS_FORM Fill in a form with personal information
0.5 FILL_THIS_FORM_LOAN Answer loan question(s)
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_2_NEW Appears to be advance fee fraud (Nigerian 419)
3.0 MONEY_FORM Lots of money if you fill out a form
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW Appears to be advance fee fraud (Nigerian 419)
1.5 MONEY_LOTTERY Lots of money from a lottery
0.2 MONEY_FRAUD Lots of money and any of the fraud rules
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_2_NEW_MONEY Advance Fee fraud and lots of money
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_FORM Advance Fee fraud and a form
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_MONEY Advance Fee fraud and lots of money
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_2_NEW_FORM Advance Fee fraud and a form
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_2_NEW_FRM_MNY Advance Fee fraud and lots of money
1.0 ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_FRM_MNY Advance Fee fraud and lots of money
0.2 FORM_FRAUD Fill a form and any of the fraud rules

Yes, there's some overlap; these _are_ testing rules, after all...

Contact me offlist if you want to install the sandbox rules for them, I'll
give you instructions.

The existing ones are weak w/r/t non-USD currencies. That's one reason I
started on the lotsa_money stuff.
