I have seen a lot of postings talk about the BAYES_99 rule.  I think
that this rule will help tremendously with catch some of this spam as I
have already implemented the "news" rule that Phile Randall posted.  I
have searched my server and I do not find the BAYES_99 rule already on
there so where do I find that to download and how do I make sure that it
is implemented?

Thanks.

Bayes has been catching these here, but in some cases the only other
rule to fire has been HTML_MESSAGE. I've managed to largely mitigate
this with a custom meta rule that combines BAYES_99 and a custom subject
rule:

header __LOCAL_NEWS_IN_SUBJ Subject =~ /re:.*news/i
meta LOCAL_BAYES99_NEWS_SPAM (__LOCAL_NEWS_IN_SUBJ && BAYES_99) score
LOCAL_BAYES99_NEWS_SPAM 2.0

You perhaps could expand it to other BAYES_x rules, depending on how
brave you are feeling...YMMV.  :-)
