Re: Them spammers are getting smarter..
Anyhow, you can use: /^Me again/ it looks for Me again at the beginning of the expression; it detects Me again, but also Me again Richard, etc. Theo Van Dinter wrote: On Tue, Nov 21, 2006 at 12:33:36PM -0800, Evan Platt wrote: So used to be mail from Richard Smith, subject Me again Richard.

There's an infinite number of ways they can change around the subject/from/etc that there's no point in trying to keep up.

So used to be mail from Richard Smith, subject Me again Richard. Now they're using the last name, ie Me again Smith I'm almost at the point of rejecting anything with the subject Me again... Off topic: In postfix in header_checks, can I specity something at the START? ie if I say /Me again/ Reject I only want to reject Me again Smith but not Hey, it's Me again... Thanks. :) Evan

Put a caret at the start of the pattern: /^Me again/. To anchor at the end of the line, put a dollar sign at the end of the pattern: /Me again $/.

There's an infinite number of ways they can change around the subject/from/etc that there's no point in trying to keep up. Yep. Given how easy it would be for them to do more random subjects, I'm of the opinion that these are being offered up as decoys. Dangle an obvious sign in front of the spamfighters, wait for us to grab it, then snatch it away at the last minute. It's just a way of tweaking us and keeping us busy. Meanwhile, Bayes + SARE Stocks + header checks are catching these easily, regardless of the subject. Admittedly I've bumped BAYES_99 up to 4.7 points. (On a side note, I have to laugh at the phrase, Make it huge with nanotechnology. Part of it is the huge/nano contrast, but make it huge sounds more typical of another category of spam entirely...) -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications www.speed.net
