Richard,

As with most things, there is no specific tweak that will catch all such spam; instead it is the net of everything that you are using.

I should correct myself about this one particular piece of spam.  While zombie spammers will often send plain text attachments, this one is actually from a 'static spammer', i.e. one that owns their own IP space and servers.  Static spammers typically get their IP space tagged within 48 hours of the start of their campaign, and without you lifting a finger.  You can block this one by it's IP space, 216.14.27.0/24, which was allocated to Sendwell Co. just a couple of weeks ago, and is safe to consider to be a spam block.

Richard,

This is normal stuff.  It's zombie spam; sent from a hijacked computer.  This stuff accounts for the vast majority of spam, though much of it is blocked by address validation (which won't work if you have a nobody alias enabled).  Some of these guys have figured out that their HTML techniques are more indicative of spam then their content, so they have switched to sending plain text E-mails, and most E-mail readers will automatically link URL's so it works just fine for spamming.
