Chinese Emails

[Evert Ford]

Are you using SpamAssassin with MailScanner?

SpamAssassin has a score for 'MIME_CHARSET_FARAWAY' of 2.45 (at least in my
version).
You might consider upping this value in spam.assassin.prefs.conf
(e.g. 'score MIME_CHARSET_FARAWAY 3' or even higher if that doesn't do it)

Subject: Chinese Emails


I put a message up a couple of weeks ago but I am still having a problem
with emails being received in what looks like Chinese. I added a few
lines on language settings in the spam assassin conf file that someone
suggested but that hasn't cured it. It's really only coming in on one
email address but my customer is getting very agitated about it! Anyone
help please? BTW, it's coming from all sorts of addresses and domains.
