Personally I would block mail from john/james @urbakken.dk at the MTA RCPT
level, not even allowing it to reach DATA. How you do that would depend upon
your MTA. If you don't have config access to the MTA then doing it in
MailScanner:

In your MailScanner.conf find the line: Is Definitely Spam =
and change it to: Is Definitely Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.blacklist.rules

Now create the file spam.blacklist.rules in your rules dir (normally
/opt/MailScanner/etc/rules) and it should look like:

   From:        john at urbakken.dk        yes
   From:        james at urbakken.dk       yes
   FromOrTo:    default                 no

Restart MailScanner and anything from john/james at urbakken.dk should be
handled as spam always. Again, if you do not have users named john or james
I am wondering how this mail is getting to the spam checks in the first
place... I noticed in your post with the header information the mails are
mime/multipart so I am betting they have photos.zip or readnow.zip and this
should be caught by the virus scanner anyway.

There is a very good list of usage of rule files found in
MailScanner/etc/rules/EXAMPLES you may want to look through
