Re: Spam email containing Hidden Text
Sorry I am using Postfix with Amasvid-new/spam assassin and Dovecot Over all doing pretty good catching stuff but this is combination is new to me and the only guides that discuss it seem to be trying to sell a product On Mar 15, 2014, at 3:10 PM, Nikolaos Milas nmi...@noa.gr wrote: On 15/3/2014 8:28 μμ, David Mehler wrote: Hello, I'm also interested in this.

Spam email containing Hidden Text
I have been noting an big increase in spam that contains html and images One common feature is that these emails contain hidden text that only shows up when I look at the source I found samples of this at http://www.hoax-slayer.com/hidden-text-spam.html Right now I have been having some success by blocking a country , in the most common instance .eu, in the header checks but can’t think of a body check to catch this when it spread further I would appreciate any suggestions
Re: Spam email containing Hidden Text
What software are you using? For example, are you using amavisd-new, clamav, spam-assassin ? ...And additionally, postscreen (with dnsbl !), perhaps sane-security (as part of clamav), fail2ban (to block repetiive unsuccessful connections) etc. ? Use sa-learn too! Perhaps this is more an amavisd question rather than a postfix one!
