Yep... send them to spam (at), from the email that 
you have on record with them. Sending as an attachment so they get 
complete headers is usually best, but they can also work with just the body of 
the message.

We havehad 
excellent resultsfrom Message Sniffer for severals years 
now.
However, in the past 
few days items that I feel should have been caught, were 
not.
Can I submit some 
samples to you? I would be glad to zip a couple of raw message files and email 
those to you.
Please 
advise.

I've had quitea lot ofbounces (D/Q.GSE 
pairs) in the past several weeks due to users with full mailboxes,99.999% 
of them are bounces on spam. WhenI examine the quoted headers in the 
D.GSE files, an appreciable number of them aren't failing any spam tests, and 
seems like many of them should at least be failing Sniffer.

I too have had an 
unusual amount of spam messages. Graphic pornography to the CEO’s box, ouch! I 
paste the header info into the spam message I forward to them. I have also 
noticed that the IMail box is running unusually slow the past few days. It seems 
like it is scanning harder and catching less. Anyone else noticing the 
slow speed of the IMail box?

Yes please. Usually a simple forward to spam@ will suffice.

I too saw a bunch of things come through the last two days that normally wouldn't. I'm not sure what's going on with them except that the normal broadcast patterns have changed a bit. I'm looking for some additional patterns to help nail down the differences.

These are all new spams.

They may be related to some of the new viruses coming out and the zombies created in their wake.

Please always forward spam to us at our[EMAIL PROTECTED]address if it gets to your mailbox.

Also, if you have spamtraps that you would like to share with us please let us know so that we can set up a collection mechanism with you.

The faster we can see the spam the faster we can identify new patterns, of course.

Thanks!

I see these come to some of our spamtraps also --- the from address forged to match a harvested address... When they contain enough of the original spam we can use them to code new rules. I've not attempted to do this with third party submissions of bounces - it may be risky/confusing, but any time we can get our hands on new spam it's a good thing.
