Hi,
Clint and all, I use a spam filter called K9 - a freebie - which
uses Bayesian Filter techniques to stop this stuff. It also
offers a "RegExp" filter which, for instance would get something
like you mention with this filter:
v[\W_]{0,2}[i1][\W_]{0,[EMAIL PROTECTED],2}g[\W_]{0,2}r[\W_]{0,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
