Excellent. The more spammers try to be filtered out, the more their email will look like either total gibberish (and will miss its goal completely) or will become legitimate email (which will never happen). By the way bayes filtering is even more efficient if most of your email is not in English. For example, my mother language is Dutch, and 90% of my email is in Dutch. So any email with English words in it, is either spam or a message from a mailing list that is already whitelisted trough another procmail rule. Spammers seem to have learned that not everybody speaks English. I have seen Spanish, German, French, Russian and Chinese spam, but I think it'll be a long while before they get to a language with merely 25 million (?) native speakers. -- Amedee Van Gasse
