They do that, too. Fat lot of good it's done them lately, though.
GOOD rules are hard to work around because they catch general features
of spam that are absent in ham. Specific features can be permutated
endlessly rendering rules that are too finely tuned worthless with
a one character change to a message - like changing an apostrophe
in the from name to something else.

Well, if I were a Spammer, I'd study the rules (du jour, SARE, sa-update),
every day and work around the rules that hit my content. I'd not bother
trying to decode the threads on this list. However, I'm not a spammer, so
maybe they do something different.

I will do..
Thanks,

I feel that, that thread is being watched by many. Even spammers.
I'm new, but I think it's interesting how there were a few rules that
were
shared among the users here, and the spam has been able to adjust
according
to those rules only. It is specific to that spam type. Perhaps these
things would be better handled outside of our discussions, by the
spamassassin team?
Again, I'm new here, and this has surely already been an issue in the
past, and handled accordingly. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong,
please?
