Some of this stuff is pretty short on content, and when it's from a 
fresh botnet, you pretty much have to write a quick rule to nail that 
particular spam.

body    LOCAL_STOCK_1_PHYA      /(PHYA)/
describe        LOCAL_STOCK_1_PHYA      (PHYA) stock spam
score   LOCAL_STOCK_1_PHYA      5.5

I add these type of rules frequently. :-\
And remove them when they stop hitting.
