If you're looking for a way to get rid of picture spam, try the SARE
rules (http://www.rulesemporium.com/) for spamassassin. I use these
rulesets and get very high scores on the picture spam I get. Simply
add these rules to your setup using sa-update & the openprotect
channel (see http://saupdates.openprotect.com/). It doesn't take the
cpu cost of the fuzzyocr plugin.
I thought there was a big database of blacklisted spam URLs of the websites
being advertised.
Maybe it's an urban myth, I haven't looked into it, it is something I'm planning
on doing in the next few months.
I understand that the blacklist is constantly maintained by a large group of
volunteers who use plugins in their email readers to feed-back the spam email to
the database website, where the spam ip address will be added to the database as
soon as enough trusted spam reporters have reported it.
The database then provides the blacklist for filtering against, so that any
email content with blacklisted URLs can be discarded.
Sorry I don't know anymore about it and listening to people discuss the large
amount of effort they put into maintaining spam filters, I hope I'm not
propagating myths.
