best way to combat porn email

All these emails contain links to websites hosted on <random
name>.<letter>.interia.pl, so a high-scoring spamassassin uri rule can
easily catch these.

uri      MY_INTERIA     /^http:\/\/.{1,30}\.interia\.pl/i
describe MY_INTERIA     Suspicious interia.pl links
score	   MY_INTERIA	5

They also all claim to be sent via Thunderbird ("User-Agent: Thunderbird
2.0.0.21 (Windows/20090302)"), so you could create a meta rule cobining
both those factors.

Cheers,

Phil

I found that out yesterday, and made the change.


I am back on my main mailscanner this morning, and am seeing email like
the following come through. It seems bayes is fine. What can I add or
change to catch this type of garbage:
