We've had quite a bit of spam getting through lately, all with a similarly
formatted subject line:

Notice the "%RND_UC_CHAR[2-8]" in the subject. Looks like broken spam
software that is supposed to insert RaNDom characters into the subject.
We've seen this coming from a variety of sources. I guess we can just filter
for that string in the SUBJECT? It's not failing enough tests to give it a
high enough weight.

Anyone else seeing this?
