Are there any open source OCR programs? Or possibly Xerox could be coaxed to release a "lite" version of its Textbridge recognition engine under GPL, they certainly could use some positive PR nowadays. Combined with a GA we should be able to target the most suspicious images for recognition and conversion to text.
The other hope is the forthcoming Bayesian functionality, although from what little reading I did on it, http: references are stripped, and might require a separate database and a separate, but concurrent scan. -----Original Message----- From: Damian Mendoza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 10:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SAtalk] New breed of SPAM? We're seeing the same type of messages being received with SA in school districts. Not much fun explaining why we can't block these messages. Hate to spend $50,000 for a commercial pacakge that claims to block images.

Hi all, First of all, SA has been setup and working extremely well in our environment for some time now. A problem recently started emerging where I noticed SPAM messages getting through at even the lowest threshold scoring and discovered the SPAM itself was comprised "mostly" of an image. The actual text of the message wasn't enough to trip SA into tagging it as SPAM. Has anyone seen similar and, if so, have you come up with a "best solution" that you could share?
