Some of us are working on a ruleset to combat this sort of spam, but it's not quite ready for release. A couple of custom rules in your local.cf will go a long way; adjust the scores to meet your needs.
Several versions of these rules have been posted to the SAtalk list; look at: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.general/38455/match=randomword Pierre Thomson BIC -----Original Message----- From: Robert S. Sciuk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 11:06 AM To: SpamAssassin Users List Subject: SA Problem: spam with random words to defeat Baysian filtering ... I've just joined the list, and requested FAQ and info from the majordomo. In the absence of either one, I am forced to ask the following of the list with no knowledge of whether it is an FAQ or not -- sorry. As indicated in the subject line, I'm getting negative hit rates on spam which uses random dictionary words. Obviously sa-learn cannot learn how to deal with such an approach, and my formerly brilliant sendmail/spamassassin configuration is now next to useless - as I'm getting 200 - 300 spam's per day. Can anyone point me to a solution or a counter-counter measure to kill this damn spam?? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-= Robert S.
