User counting error. I changed the {0,20} to {0,60} and the rule tripped with
the message in both formats.
My maillog says cleam message (0.0/10.0) for spam:507 in 0.0 seconds. I'm not
sure that tells us much about the processing time. A bigger x and a bigger
message could be a different story.
Now that I know how to do this rule I need to expand the \bbest\b to something
like \bbest|biggest|largest|fastest|quickest|most\b and do another one for the -
ers: better, bigger, larger, faster, quicker, etc. If we get those rules put
together it would be interesting to see how they score against corpus. They
might be useful in meta combination with some other rule(s).
Thanks for pointing out the error.
