Daniel,
How bout this rule?

Simpler,dumber, but should do the trick:
--------------------------------------------
header PAYPAL_RECEIVED Received =~ /paypal\.com/i
describe PAYPAL_RECEIVED Received from a paypal site
score PAYPAL_RECEIVED .01

#from
header PAYPAL_FROM      From =~ /paypal\.com/i
describe PAYPAL_FROM    Sent from paypal address
score   PAYPAL_FROM 0.1

meta PAYPAL_SPOOF (!PAYPAL_RECEIVED && PAYPAL_FROM)
describe PAYPAL_SPOOF Mail pretending to be sent from paypal
score PAYPAL_SPOOF 10
------------------------------------------------
