Kindly provided via SPAM Assassin:

Any message with the subjects ; Refill, Reorder, Order, or Available For Pickup

Disappointing, because it means that there are enough people THAT dumb, that spammers continue to send these by the bucket full. Just go away.

That’s all well and good…unfortunately, my pharmacy sends automated me e-mails telling me when my prescriptions are ready for pickup. Luckily, my filter can tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones.

In 3 days I have over 350 “Refill, Reorder, Order, or Available For Pickup” messages flagged as SPAM. And that’s just on my own personal mailserver. It’s worse on the mailservers I admin for commercial businesses with public facing e-mail addresses listed on their websites and in marketing materials.

And while I can train the filter on my mail client, and on the mail server, I still check for false positives, and have to wade through all those blasted messages.
