Playing games with spammers is fun. You could always do something like this:
DNS records:
fake.hostname.example.com. IN MX 10 tarbaby.junkemailfilter.com.
MX 20 mail.example.invalid.
MX 30 localhost.

Reference my last email ... I wasn't very clear.
Here is the original code:
sub re_match_in_zip_directory ($$) {
my($zipname, $regexp) = @_;
unless ($Features{"Archive::Zip"}) {

In many cases that's probably true.
Upon further review of the headers, they are passing through mail

Dave,
Tried to send you 2 samples; got this error "550 5.1.1
... User unknown"
I checked the valuse of ->read() per your request. It is "3" which is
"format error in the zip file" which is what I expected. Did some further
checking and here are the possible values:
AZ_OK (0) Everything is fine

Actually this topic was covered a while back when there were RAR files
masquerading as zip files.
Here's a function I call from filter_bad_filename. I've modified my filter
to handle a return of 1 as a bad file and 2 as a really bad file which
outright blocks the email.
sub filter_bad_filen

I just got spammed by a company that claims on their website "We hate SPAM
as much as you do." So why did they repeatedly send it to our abuse
