Yeah, but if I am not much mistaken, it requires that *all* the words
are found (because only the first occurance of each words are rewarded
any points). Use 1^1 instead of 1^0 to allow the recipe to trigger e.g.
if someone mentions "money" four times and "free" one or two times but
does not mention cash.

The h says that the recipe should only deliver/pipe the header, so drop
that one. Also, the ".*" is not needed, since it just egrep's the body
anyway. Whether you grep for "zero or more instances of any character
(except newline) followed by the string 'money'" or just the string
'money' is just the same. Also, you can use regular expressions, thusly:

# have a nice variable at the top of the file that we can change without
# mucking about in the ruleset:
CRAP="(money|loan|cash|apr|free)"

:B :
* -5^0
* $ 1^1 $CRAP
$SPAMFILE
