Ahh the new version of SPAM!

[Jay]

Well, it looks like the spammers have figured out how to get around the spam filters!

The latest is instead of sending spam in text and have that rnu thru a text filter and getting pitched, they are creating a gif (image001.gif) and sending that thru and the filter IGNORES it! UGGG Now, if we filter gif - we piss off customers becuase they cannot send picture to their friends/family.

Anyone have any idea how we can counter this new type of spam?

by verifying sender ip and relay : blacklist check
by having antispam up to date ( example : spamassassin )

Jay,

Are you using SpamBlocker? If not you should considder it as the combination SpamBlocker/SpamAssassin will block a lot more Spam.
