Fine, let them use SA to test their filth out. However, they can only get at the

About a week ago a guy asked how to use SA to check the emails before he sent them for

The body of the spam in question was more than 80% Bayes-

Hi Rubin
Clever yes, but not clever enough. Check out these sets, the backhair
set gives this spam 9 more points.

look in the source of the email, if you haven't, to see what they will
