Recently, I've seen a lot of spam with either a lot of random words appended to the bottom, or even whole unrelated paragraphs from news reports or other random rubbish. I assume this is meant to mess up bayes filtering...
I doubt I'm the only one seeing this phenomenon. I'm interested as to what kind of effect this will have, if any, on SA's scoring/bayes analysis of mail?
There have been MANY discussions of this on this list recently. In short: these probably flag a message as spam. Bayes is (hopefully) tund to YOUR patterns, not any specific word list. If words are used that are NOT part of your normal patterns, they tend to indicate spam. Careful training is required.
