As some one who speaks Russian, it would be more productive for you to forward those spams to sniffer for processing rather than create a rule based on normal common language characters. Besides, that is not what I expect from Sniffer. My understand of the premise of Message Sniffer is to create rules that search for a pattern in spam messages that can be reliably duplicated. Having a rule solely based on inclusion of common language characters would under-mind that trust we have in Message Sniffer.

Do you sell much Sniffer Product to Russia? If not, rules that focus on common russian words would be great for blocking much of the spam that makes it's way past Sniffer. You could always create a way for people that want Russian emails to exclude this rule. No? Not that I know all the details of how you guys create your rules but a rule looking for common Cyrillic characters could catch all spam formatted in Russian as well as other languages that use similar characters. Otherwise you should hire some coders that understand these languages as I get a heap of spam that passes Sniffer by using what looks like Russian or Cyrillic characters. I run iMail 8.22 so if anyone has any other ideas that could block these please post your suggestions, I guess we could create a phrase list from some of the Cyrillic spams..?
