Well, I don't want to help spammers out too much. :-)

Take a look at the 50_scores.cf file for some of the larger negative
rules.  It doesn't take much imagination to go from there...

Unfortunately, there's no way to know if the information is legitimate
or put in there to fool SA.  I expect the score weights will be quite
different next time the SA team releases the results of the genetic
algorithm on a "modern" spam corpus.

For now, I'm considering zeroing out some of the negative-weight scores.
