Reporting SPAM {Scanned}

Hey gang,

Now that I have this slick mailscanner setup and am not
quite so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of SPAM I thought
I would try to start reporting some SPAM to the clearing houses
using:

spamassassin -r SPAM_mail_file

Which I understand will not only train my Bayes DB but also
submit the email as SPAM to some clearing houses.

To start with I wanted to choose some clear cut SPAM and
and one good way for me to differentiate from a potential
legit organization such as Amazon, or LLBean and a blatant
spammer is what I have been calling a dictionary attack.....
or an attempt to confuse the BAYES engine with a bunch of
words that are thrown together that don't make any real sense
usually at the end of a SPAM.

To me no legitimate outfit would ever use this scheme/technique.

Does that sound reasonable?

hgh.
