Hi

Has anyone else been being hammered today with spam from

catchthismail@

Ive had thousands all aimed at different domains.

They contain varients on the following:-

Hi
How are you ? Call me.
Numerous studies
Poor you, i don't even think how much spam you are recive.
"true toys"
68796D6D78667171737C776D6833706668796E726E45746C747933747A

I use SpamAssain 3.1.7 with sa-update,rules_du_jour, DCC, razor and sbl-xbl
at the MTA

There not firing on to many rules so ive been feeding them to bayes which
has helped but still lots not getting flagged as spam. I use sendmail and
was trying to use the access database to block them i.e.

catchthismail@	ERROR:"550 User Unknown"

but that didnt work so ive used MailScanners non spam action to just store
them

To:	catchthismail@*	store

Is anyone else seeing this and how are you dealing with them?

Cheers

Paul
