I've been receiving a new flood of spam with an interesting
signature. It has a usual unsubscribe message:
To not recieve anymore. Please visit this link.
223 W Bulldog Blvd #551 Provo, UT 84604
But I was surprised Postini did not mark it as trash. After a bit of
research, I found two interesting attributes of all the spam:
1 - The unsubscribe message above was not text, but was an image. It
was also to a different URL each time.
2 - A somewhat weird header was used, apparently to out-fox spam
filters:
X-Spamshield-Status-Data: Skipped, authenticated user
.. so to knock it out until Postini gets hip, I just added the latter
header to my mail client's filter, moving it to the spam folder.
I'd be interested if anyone else receives these.
