FWIW this is two working versions of that rule expanded into a set of
three rules with escallating scores:
# match Bayes-poison lists of lowercase words without articles or common
prepositions
body PT_WORDLIST_10
/(?:\b(?!(?:from|that|have|this|were|with)\b)[a-z]{4,12}\s+){10}/
describe PT_WORDLIST_10 string of 10+ random words
score PT_WORDLIST_10 1.0
body PT_WORDLIST_13
/(?:\b(?!(?:from|that|have|this|were|with)\b)[a-z]{4,12}\s+){13}/
describe PT_WORDLIST_13 string of 13+ random words
score PT_WORDLIST_13 3.0
body PT_WORDLIST_30
/(?:\b(?!(?:from|that|have|this|were|with)\b)[a-z]{4,12}\s+){30}/
describe PT_WORDLIST_30 string of 30+ random words
score PT_WORDLIST_30 10.0
# match Bayes-poison lists of lowercase words without articles or common
prepositions ignoring punctuation.
body XX_WORDLIST_10
/(?:\b(?!(?:from|that|have|this|were|with)\b)[a-z\.\,\-\;]{4,18}\s+){10}/
describe XX_WORDLIST_10 string of 10+ random words
score XX_WORDLIST_10 1.0
body XX_WORDLIST_13
/(?:\b(?!(?:from|that|have|this|were|with)\b)[a-z\.\,\-\;]{4,18}\s+){13}/
describe XX_WORDLIST_13 string of 13+ random words
score XX_WORDLIST_13 3.0
body XX_WORDLIST_30
/(?:\b(?!(?:from|that|have|this|were|with)\b)[a-z\.\,\-\;]{4,18}\s+){30}/
describe XX_WORDLIST_30 string of 30+ random words
score XX_WORDLIST_30 10.0
Loren put them together.
