SpamAssassin uses standard Perl regular expressions. Any decent book
on Perl will document these. There is also an entire O'Reilly book
devoted to the issue of regular expressions. I recommend the O'Reilly
3rd edition of "Programming Perl". You can buy the whole series of
books on a CD (with a paper copy of the excellent "Perl In A
Nutshell") from O'Reilly too, it's called something like the "Perl
Bookshelf".
