oops, I failed to note that the Message-ID did in fact contain '@'.
However, the following should catch it:
:0:
* ! ^Message-ID:(_dot_)*(_at_)(_dot_)+\(_dot_)(_dot_)+
looks_like_spam
This looks for a messageid not containing an '@' followed by at least one
of whatever, followed by a dot, followed by at least one of whatever (you
could get more retentive if you wanted to). Thus, the bogus Message-ID
would have failed because of no dotted domain following the @, as well as
these sorts of ids:
<120913497(_at_)aol> (no dot)
<039481234.aol> (no at)
<1231239(_dot_)1241(_at_)aol> (still no dot after the @)
Besides broken mailers (which I'm about to give up on anyway), anyone see a
problem with the revised rule? Suggested improvements?
