Well, I'm not sure out-of-the-box rules will help otherwise they'd already 
be helping. :)

You might want to run it through SA with the rule hits flags on so that 
you can tell if a new meta with some existing unscored rules might help.

What caught my eye was the unusual TLD in the HELO. That would be trivial 
for a spammer to bypass, but it might help to look for unusual TLDs 
there as well...

I will see about adding that to my sandbox tonight or tomorrow, but no 
guarantees on how it will do in masschecks.

It might also be time to update my phishing phrases rules...

Feel free to send me an archive of spamples if you like.
