I have adopted the following policy, I run commercial free email. If it
is unsolicited
it gets blacklisted. If they want to run commercials through my email
site, I will let them,
provided they use a mailing list and the user can opt out. Random,
unsolicited emails
go in the blacklist. This method (too me) works the best. While
spamassassin works very well
also, it becomes much more inflated in terms of code, the more rules
there are. I use spamassassin also,
but for just standard unsolicited email, it goes to the bit bucket. I
will sell them commercials
on my site, I will be glad to set up a site wide mailing list and let my
customers subscribe to the
ones they want (for a monthly fee). I am not going to subsidize email
commercials on bandwidth
my customers and I pay for, nor do I want to let someone, such as a
spammer, use my resources
for free, if they want to use them, they will pay for them, through the
sales of subscribe/unsubscribe
mailing lists. So, if they wanna play, their gonna hafta pay.
I believe this is the only way to force spammers to comply with some
kind of email policy.

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out what to do to filter these spam messages. I can't seem
to
find a ruleset which would filter them. Perhaps I need to change something in
my configuration? any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Here are the latest spam I'm receiving:

rulesemporium
Thanks,
