I'm old fashioned and don't own an MMS-enabled phone, but phone numbers
are generally 12 numbers long if in the standard international form,
prefixed with a "+".

I just sent myself an SMS-to-email with Vodafone Italy and hit these rules:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=2.532 tagged_above=-999 required=3.5
tests=[BAYES_00=-2.599, DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE=0.2,
FORGED_RCVD_HELO=0.135, FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS=2.53,
FROM_LOCAL_HEX=1.305, NO_REAL_NAME=0.9

while the sender was [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take a survey of how your
local providers format senders and write a set of rules accordingly.

Rather than outright whitelist, you could put a compensating rule in that 
negates the rules it hits on. That way real MMS spam will still get points 
from other rules.

Yeah that works for that one.. but with multiple originating sources and
multiple carriers etc I thought there must be a better way than manually
enetering every mms provider... ??

I'm not sure but can you whitelist */[EMAIL PROTECTED] or
something?

Subject: Blocking MMS messages?


Hi All.. 

Im getting a lot of complaints at the moment about spamassassin blocking
legitimate MMS messages sent from mobiles direct to email addresses.. 

How is everyone combating this ?

SPAM, <61413444333/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,

Thoughts ?
