Description Marc Perkel 2003-10-29 16:48:31 UTC 
I've got a little free time and getting back into writing rules. One of the
things I'm going to focus on is tests that apply only to the subject line. I
think the subject line is generally spammier than any other part of the visible
message.

Having said that. Here's my first new rule. I noticed that a lot of spam either
starts with the word "Get" or has the word Get as the start of a phrase - like -
Need a bigger penis? Get Viagra!. 

I'm having very good luck with this rule and I invite others to try it out.


header SUBJ_GET			Subject =~ /(?:^get|\W get)\b/i
describe SUBJ_GET		Subject has phrase that starts with Get

fps horribly.  "Get anything good for Christmas?", "Get ready for the meeting at 4pm", and "Talk smack 
about Microsoft security, get fired?" for instance.
