Click here to see the profile of this user 		Embedded image spam - 2007/01/23 14:46 Does anyone have a good method for stopping these image-embedded spams that are hoarding my inbox right now?

Norton Antispam is useless at picking them up, and they change IP & from address each time and put dummy message content in so they are virtually impossible to block.

I blocked many keywords on SpamAssassin before it hits my inbox, but because it's an image, of course Spamassassin doesn't catch them.

Anyone have any clever ways around this?

I get in the region of 20 spams a day ranging from pump and dump stockspam to pharmaceuticals.

Thanks

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Embedded image spam - 2007/01/24 12:23 Yeh I do image blocking, but then it kinda affects my other newsletters. I'd like to cut the pest of embedded image spam out of my life once and for all, but it's incredibly difficult to do, as these spammers are always one step ahead of the game. I'd like to see how the anti-spam co's are dealing with this. I am actually going to try and contact them to get their views.

I'll post what I find.

It more like an enterprise type of solution.
