Is there a way to do checks on message bodies using Maildrop? I am getting lots of mail with only the words "want a cheap watch?" in the body and Spamassassin and Mailscanner are missing all of them.

Do you use SA's bayesian filter? I would it expect it to find these kind of mails.

If it doesn't help, Maildrop should be able to help. Search for something like /want a cheap watch\?/b

Yes, I use the Bayesian filtering but these spams that contain just a few words seem to get through. It's just "want a cheap watch?" or "cheap watch?" and then a URL. I have Postfix discarding any emails that have URL's that contain the .biz and .info TLD's and that gets rid of much of the spam. Now if only all spammers would use those TLD's ;)

Perhaps you should be looking at dspam - it uses a different "technique" from SA's Bayesian filter and after teaching it, none of the spammer tricks (blank subjects, no text, occluded words etc.) gets past it.
