Image spam is gradually moving in the direction of a captcha: images that people can identify but computers can't. How far they can go before it becomes so annoying that no one will look at it is anyone's guess. As long as people can design effective captcha's, it will be possible to construct image spam that OCR will not detect. -- Seth Goodman _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
