I hope this is the correct place to post this.

This is a rule we use to catch spam that contains the chemical name of Viagra.  
It catches most of the ones that don't get caught on the existing rules. 

body     SEH_SILDENAFIL          /sildenafil citrate/i
score    SEH_SILDENAFIL          2.0
describe SEH_SILDENAFIL          Talks about sildenafil citrate

You probably should leave out the "citrate".  Drug names are often written
without the "salt" part (and sometimes drugs are available as salts of more than
one acid).  So /sildenafil/i should be enough.

Also, it does seem like SpamAssassin needs another drug-related test or two. 
I'm currently using one that checks the subject, since there seem to be a lot
with Xanax and Vicodin lately:

header L_SUBJ_DRUG		Subject =~
/\b(?:xanax|soma\b|val[i1]um|v[i1]c[o0]d[i1]n|celebrex|prozac|zoloft|propecia|cialis|sildenafil|fioricet|ambien\b|diazepam|xenical|buspar)/i
describe L_SUBJ_DRUG	Subject includes drug name
score L_SUBJ_DRUG 3

That list is pretty random, though.  Maybe a test for messages containing
multiple drug names?

ok, in testing now
