Here Here! I second the motion. It would be great to be able to block these.
We use the Declude Country Filter which does a good job, but these "Russian" or "Arabic" E-mails don't always originate in the subject country. Thanks Steve for the good suggestion.

Do you sell much Sniffer Product to Russia? If not, rules that focus on common russian words would be great for blocking much of the spam that makes it's way past Sniffer. You could always create a way for people that want Russian emails to exclude this rule. No? Not that I know all the details of how you guys create your rules but a rule looking for common Cyrillic characters could catch all spam formatted in Russian as well as other languages that use similar characters. Otherwise you should hire some coders that understand these languages as I get a heap of spam that passes Sniffer by using what looks like Russian or Cyrillic characters. I run iMail 8.22 so if anyone has any other ideas that could block these please post your suggestions, I guess we could create a phrase list from some of the Cyrillic spams..?
