this should be imho more a spamassassin rule

however, there are many languages in the world, so we'd need to match more
of them.

spamassassin rule could look like this:

body		__ARCHIVE_PASSWORD_1	/pass(word)? archiv(e|io):/i
body		__ARCHIVE_PASSWORD_2	/archiv(e|io) pass(word)?:/i
meta		ARCHIVE_PASSWORD	__ARCHIVE_PASSWORD_1 || __ARCHIVE_PASSWORD_2
describe	ARCHIVE_PASSWORD	provides archive password
score		ARCHIVE_PASSWORD	5

note that you might want to use replacetags and optionally fill with \s? to
work around possible whitespace characters
