Sorry I mean to say that I could find only one single case of
ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_MONEY hitting at the same time as LOTTO_AGENT.

ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_MONEY hit this message with a resume, because LOTS_OF_MONEY
was present.  Also, because __ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW hit, because it's score was >
2.   The 3 hits that caused _ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW to occur, were LOTTO_AGENT,
__DEAL (financial transaction), and __FRAUD_IRT (Dear Sir). Those 3 made the
score > 2.

LOTTO_AGENT only hit 75 out of about 90000 spam messages in my log.

61 of those messages had FILL_THIS_FORM
55 of those messages had US_DOLLARS_3
43 of those messages had FROM_MISSP_REPLYTO
35 of those messages had YOU_WON
28 of those messages had FROM_MISSP_USER
26 of those messages had DEAR_BENEFICIARY
12 of those messages had FREEMAIL_FORGED_REPLYTO

If I filter out all of the LOTTO_AGENT spam messages that had either
US_DOLLARS_3 or FILL_THIS_FORM, I get only get 4 spam messages.  So those 2
rules are knew for LOTTO_AGENT being likely to be a spam.  For the 4 that
didn't hit those 2 rules:

3 of those had FREEMAIL_FORGED_REPLYTO
The 4th had DEAR_BENEFICIARY and HK_RANDOM_FROM

It seems to me, given the low amounts of hits for LOTTO_AGENT, it's score
should be dependent on other rules, such as FILL_THIS_FORM or US_DOLLARS_3.

Personally, I have a lot of rules dependent on the size of the message.  A
resume is a fairly large file, while spam like the ones that LOTTO_AGENT are
likely to hit, tend to be small.  IMHO.

FWIW, What is 73_sandbox_manual_scores.cf?  I see that ADVANCE_FEE_3_NEW_MONEY
has a lower score there, if I comment out a line.
