Re: How to stop porn spam

SURBLs indeed catch them fine. I have done RBL(at MTA 
level)+MailScanner+SpamAssassin+DCC+SURBLs+Razor2 along with SARE 
rulesets and some custom cfs. In last one month thats after implementing 
SURBL and Razor2 i have managed to gain 100% control on these kind of 
Spam messages and for the few of which (1/100) were left out  i had  
taken care of it by customized cfs containing those URLs in the message 
body.

Well as bottom line i wld give full marks to SURL lookup for really 
doing a good job.

We are getting hit pretty hard with these spams as well, enough that my
users are complaining for the first time in a long time. It seems they
do not hit any of the rulesets from SARE and only a couple from the main
rules:

Once they've been reported, SURBL's catch them fine. I'd appreciate any
helpful info.

Hello!
We're receiving more and more spam which consists of a large
porn picture and several paragraphs of text grabbed from some 
books or sites like this:
     

"Party leaders saw economic reform as a way to regain their
and their Our goal was finished we safely landed a man on the 
moon. We have proven that our heroes were successful in 
leading us on a great journey through the first stage of 
space exploration, but were will we land next will a new 
president lead us on a journey to mars? Will there be new 
heroes to look up to? Only time will tell. "
     

I'm sure bayes would help, but it is impossible to teach our
customers to correctly train bayes. :( Eugene
     

 

Tell them to stop visiting porn sites and giving out their email
   

address!
 

:)  Sorry for the obvious...
   

Has anyone got anything slighty more helpful? We are experiencing
similar,
with an image and a chuck of text, seemingly news based. I don't
actually
feel that a chunk of our users have all visited the same site and left
their
email addresses, all incidentally since last Thursay.
