This is probably a completely different type of message we have been discussing. Those messages that use links to web based storage usually (almost always) provide enough info for the Statistical filters to determine their spamminess. The ones that are truly hard are those with the image embedded directly into the mail as a direct attachment. These latter do not give away their receipt when showing the message and are generally harder, but not impossible, to statistically filter. Greylisting will stop the large majority of them -- DNS blacklists can stop most of them too. -- Herb Martin, MCT, MCSD, MCSE, MVP [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://LearnQuick.Com 512 388 7339 -or- 1 800 MCSE PRO Accelerated MCSE in a Week Seminars _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
