Dang! There I was thinking I had made the correct observation earlier... And
now you outstage me with this! : )

    # idea from Robert Menschel <RMSA@Menschel.net>
    header FROM_HAS_MIXED_NUMS3 From:addr =~
    /^[a-z]+\d+[a-z]+\d+[a-z]+\w*\@/i
    describe FROM_HAS_MIXED_NUMS3 From: contains numbers mixed in
    with letters

   While this does add 3.25 to your potential score, it doesn't top a score
   of 6 from this alone.

   If you look closer, you will see the various RCVD_IN matches as well.
   Apparently, your IP netblock is listed in various spam blacklists -
   particularly the various public dialup lists. These lists are maintained
   for transient IP blocks (typically DHCP blocks or PPP dialup banks) that
   rotate through customers on an ongoing basis, causing much headache as
   spammers come and go using those IP addresses.

   Most of the weighting here is due to your ISP's netblock being
   blacklisted on these lists.
