<br>Also you can see what rules are hit in SA etc buy enabling the following settings in MailScanner.conf, so you see if there's anything causing SA to miss the emails (like whitelisting overly done)<br><br><p>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
In South Africa we get tons of banking spam emails phishing for users account information.<br>
<br>
I don't want to send a sample to the list, but the problem is that the emails look almost like the real bank emails.<br>
<br>
Are there any methods of blocking the fake ones, is this just a big problem in S.A. or is everyone around the globe subjected to these?<br>
<br>
I'm running the latest spam assassin, with updated rules, and MailScanner and most of the emails don't get hit by any of the spam assassin rules, so it's not just a matter of bumping up scores.<br>
<br>
Any help will be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Regards.<br>
<br>
Neil<br>
