May I suggest MailScanner,Spamassassin or something that handles mail
directly. As everybody will point out, and has already pointed out,
you are waisting your time w/ NIDS to accomplish this task.

Both MailScanner and Spamassassin will search on key words or anything
pcre based. Much how snort signatures work from a PCRE standpoint,
BTW. To go beyond this we can take the discussion off the list as it
would be OT!
