I run a fairly uncompromising spamassassin, which rejects mail scoring
5.5 or above (and in my own mailbox, I treat anything scoring over 0 as
suspect). I find that almost all false negatives that slip through are
the result of a not-perfectly-trained site-wide bayes database
[Basically, I train it, so it works well for me. Hardly anyone else
bothers]. I run lots of network tests, which work really well.
But this e-mail looks like it would never get blocked. Does sa have a
hope against this, or have the spammers finally come up with something
that can't be filtered? Even with BAYES_99 (default score 3.5) it would
score just under 5.5.
This is the first time I've noticed a spam e-mail that I can't see how
spamassassin could kill.
