In addition to (or maybe even instead of) FuzzyOCR, you should also consider using some of the add-on clamav spam/phish signature databases. In particular I have found the sanesecurity lists to be extremely effective. Each site has suggested scripts you can add to your crontab for periodic downloading. Extremely effective, highly recommended: http://sanesecurity.com/clamav/index.htm Not very effective for me, but others report good results: http://www.msrbl.com/site/msrblimagesabout http://www.msrbl.com/site/msrblspamabout -- Noel Jones ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
