spam after mailscanner what next? {Scanned}

[Henry Hollenberg]

Hey gang,


My mailscanner install is working very well, thanks to all on the list.

I have noticed a couple of categories of remaining SPAM(ie looks_like_spam_to_me) that are getting thru:

1) probably valid companys that would honor a request for removal from their mailing lists.

2) dictionary attacks designed to beat the baysian engine/db.



Number 1:
I plan on cautiously contacting the lists I identify in #1 after manually screening them
for controlling DNS authority and double checking them on the SPAM lists.  Does this
sound reasonable?  Does anyone have a better way to handle these?

Number 2:
Have no idea how to attack these other than submitting them to spamcop or some such.

This stuff seems to do a pretty good job of defeating baysian, but it's funny it's instantly reconizible to me as SPAM.
Maybe I need to set up a CRAY in my garage with some AI software to catch this stuff.

hgh.
