[Mimedefang] Anyone seeing sneaky spam?

[Peter P. Benac]

Dave,

     You are assuming that the mail is somewhat legit in the first place.
There is a ton of Norton Systemworks SPAM that goes to a web site that will
download porn to your system and then they try to blackmail you.  This was
reported by Information Week last week.   You honestly think the senders of
this kind of SPAM care it's being blocked.  

Regards,
Pete

I've been getting Spam where they are going out of their way to put 
extra spaces and punctuation in the middle of words to prevent matching. I
got one the other day for "In k-je t car tridges".

You'd think the bastards would figure out that if people are blocking 
the stuff it's because they don't want it and going around the filter will
just make people mad.
