I have been getting them here also and have forwarded some to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

I guess to get past the filters the spammers misspell key words throughout
the email with new web links. It is misspelled so badly that I cannot really
make sense of it. Are there actual people out there that would buy this
stuff from a spam email like that?

DC Not just drugs, but some others too have been slipping through the past
DC couple of days.  We've reported a little under 40 in the past couple of
DC days.

We saw a bit of a lull, then a rash of new campaigns bunched together
with some new obfuscation techniques. We're getting a handle on it
now. Looks like the burst started about 30 hours ago and is tailing
off now.

The more interesting fact is that Outlook's generic spam filter is catching
1 to 7 spam messages per day for me.

Well, I am at the point that I could care less about geocities false
positives. If GeoCities is going to allow this much spam junk then I could
care less about allowing them.

That's fine.

There are probably a number of systems that feel that way. I only
meant to say that we've tried a block-first strategy w/ geocities
before and had to remove it. YMMV.

You should also know (may remember) that the blackhats experimented a
while ago with using several other hosting sites, including msn, and
seeding them in round-robin fashion so that they all appeared in each
campaign. Since this experiment stopped abruptly I doubt that it has
been abandoned - rather, it was put on the shelf for a while. At the
time it was clearly effective for them. I think it likely they will do
that again (don't know when) since they are putting some new effort
into this path. I don't have any evidence of it yet.

I discovered that on 20060503 the blackhats made some significant
changes to their use of geocities links and their transmission
patterns. I've re-tuned the F002 bot to compensate and it is currently
reviewing a handful of new geocities links every minute and adding
approximately 1.2 new rules per minute.

I suspect that the lull we observed may have had something to do with
their tooling up for this set of campaigns.

Just when you think we won the battle, they move the targets and change the
rules.

This is why we need people like Pete and Darrell to help us fight this ever
changing war.

A big thanks.
