You can use the charset to filter out many of them.  In the original
there's a Content-type header containing, IIRC (I've deleted the
original), `charset="kr-..."', i.e., it's a Korean character set.  I
don't know about you, but I've yet to receive a single legitimate email
in a Korean character set.

With procmail:

    :0:
    *^Content-type:.*charset="kr-
    probably-spam
    
will dump them into a mailbox called "probably-spam".  Review this
mailbox once per week or so just in case it traps legitimate mail.  You
could simply send it to /dev/null, but only if you're *really* sure your
filter rule is OK.


Cheers,

John
