New type of monstrosity
Last couple of weeks I saw some messages whose entire contents is in the Subject. They have both a text/plain and text/html part but both are empty (in the case of html, there is some markup but no character data). The Subject is maybe 400 or 500 chars long. Needless to say, this is a 100% spam trait, but some escaped. Is there already a rule somewhere to deal with this? (not among the ones bundled with SA, I don't think) If I'm writing my own, is the naive way to match the Subject going to work? I'm asking mostly because the header is properly split and continued around 60 character bonudaries. That is, does SA join continued lines before matching? -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html

Re: New type of monstrosity
The spample would never make it to our SA. It would be rejected upstream for at least two reasons: > To: undisclosed recipients: ; The To header is not RFC compliant.The Subject header exceeds the maximum line length, being another RFC constraints. It is easy to catch spam this way. On Tue, Feb 7, 2017 at 3:46 AM, Ian Zimmerman <'i...@primate.net'> wrote: On 2017-02-06 20:06, Kevin A.
