Fuzzy OCR annoying Outlook users

Increase of spam?

2007-05-03 Thread kshatriyak
Hi list, Not sure if it's entirely on-topic, but at least I want to monitor it closely. A while ago I implemented graylisting, which works quite well. But since 2 days ago I'm seeing loads of mails which are passing by the greylisting (so they are being sent again by a real mailserver).
