Maybe I'm missing something, but this is an "honest" spam in that it
contains "ADV:" at the start of the subject header to indicate that it
is an advertisement. Some others use "UCE:" to indicate an unsolicited
commercial email. There is nothing easier than a simple

:0
    * ^Subject: (ADV|UCE):
    /dev/null

to filter out this whole class of "honest" spams. (In fact, I never saw
the original email, only the replies.)
