Thank you David.
 
Will give this a go. What I don't understand is that... Why is this not catching this 'utf' which is on the subject?
 
I used this for testing purposes. It catches other botnet headers like 'Experian', etc.
 
header XX_CUSTOM_HEADER Subject =~ /Experian|\$1500|to your account on file today|into your account today|video|clip|movie| vid|episode|utf/i
score XX_CUSTOM_HEADER 8.0
describe XX_CUSTOM_HEADER XX Custom Rules - Header
