I filter GIF and JPG spam before it reaches the Spamsieve filter so they
don't "pollute" the Spamsieve corpus.
In my filters, my first filter is called "Spam-gif" and has two conditions:
From is not in address book
Attachment ends with .gif
The Actions consist of:
Move message into folder Spam
Set label to Priority 4
I check my Spam folder once a day and delete the obvious spam after
reporting it to SpamCop.
