Ironically, Gmail's spam filters have filtered every single one of the emails 
in this thread. :-\

Check out http://msbl.org/ This is e-mail addresses blacklist targeting
this type of scam. I have very high score assigned to it and it works
perfectly.

Do you have Bayes enabled and are you training it? 


Also do you have KAM.cf?

Any SA hits at all? Please provide at a minimum that header; better, 
upload the entire message (all headers intact) to someplace like pastebin.


Hi josh, my name is Darya and i'm from Russia, but living in the USA. A week 
ago, maybe more, I came across your profile on Facebook and now I wan to know 
you more. I know it sounds a bit strange, but I believe you had something 
like this in your life too :-) If its mutual, email me, this is my email 
danielamar...@rambler.ru and I will send some of my photos also answer any of 
your questions. Waiting for you, XXX Darya


This sort of thing I'd expect Bayes to catch.

112it4u.ro from the message ID has valid NS entries but the reverse PTR is 
invalid.


I don't know whether DNS checks on the hostname in the message-ID would be 
worthwhile...


The email always starts, 'hi {mailbox name}, and the text is mostly the same 
but the name changes now and then and so does the email address.

As far as I can see from the different emails:

X-PHP-Originating-Script: 852:class-phpmailer.php

The number is sequential.

112it4u.ro from the message ID has valid NS entries but the reverse PTR 
is invalid.


The email always starts, 'hi {mailbox name}, and the text is mostly the 
same but the name changes now and then and so does the email address.
