Hello, (new to this list, so please notify me if this has already been discussed or should be posted elsewhere. I've checked the mailing list archives but didn't find anything.)
I've been quite satisfied with SpamAssassin so far (first 2.53, now 2.61). It's blocking a modest 100 spam mails a weak, I've had no false positive and relatively few false negatives. Recentely, I've been getting a new kind of spam that gets through more often than not, though: email with a subject line like the speach in the star trek episode "Darmok", where captain Picard is alone on a planet with a man who talks like Kiteo, his eyes closed. Mirab, his sails unfurled! Kailash! When it rises. Sokath, his eyes uncovered! It may be a coincidence, but all these emails have a subject like that. The body of the mail is just a random collection of words, about 4 lines long. Some examples: Re: FQCDW, thousand years waiting Re: YAS, here the investigator Re: SAHQSC, of the gift Re: IN, that you learne Re: WJKCPV, breaking to pieces Have others encountered this? Has a rule already been written to recognize this subject pattern? Is it worth it? I'd like to try it, and probably will, but any pointers are welcome as I've not written rules myself before.
