You may want to take a look in pregmatching, such as (or similar,
haven't tried this):

subject VIAGRA_SPAM_1 /^.*V[a-z]*i[a-z]*a[a-z]*g[a-z]*r[a-z]*a.*$/i
describe VIAGRA_SPAM_1 This is probably a viagra spam message
score VIAGRA_SPAM_1 10.0

I usually, with these new spam threats, have sa-learn parse a couple of
messages, learning those to be regarded to as spam.

It gets you rid of almost every spam message, as I have received 48 spam
mails today alone, and just needed to remove 1 manually.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,
