I'm seeing a few of these today too.  In fact, at home, I've had
maybe 5 spam messages slip through my defenses today.  That's a
HUGE increase for me ... I usually average 1 message every week.

It is worth it to add some rules to score for screwed-up spams like this? (other headers embedded in the Subject: header)


There already appears to be a "very long header" rule (HEAD_LONG).


How about rules for:

1) 2 or so points for "more than 3 :'s in any header" -> /(?:.*:){3,}/

2) 3 or so points for mime header text inside of other headers, such as:
   From: "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit "@h677477.serverkompetenz.net
To: Content-Transfer-Encoding:7bit.Content-Type:text/plain.Subject:hey.bcc:

3) a small score (0.5?) for "body contains a line that looks like a misplaced bcc line" -> /^bcc: /i

4) a small score (0.2?) for "body contains many email addresses in a row, esp. with no spacing between them".

5) a small score (0.5?) for "a text/plain message that contains /^Content-type: / in the body"

6) a small score (0.5?) if the sender address contains "web" or "www".

7) increase the value of "TO_CC_NONE" (0.1 to 1.0?), "TO_EMPTY" (0.1 to 1.0?), and "HEAD_LONG" (2.5 to 3.0?)


Do those seem reasonable?  (and if someone writes them up, let me know ... )
