HI Folk

Over the last couple of weeks we have been inundated with image spam
promoting viagra and other drugs for treating erectile disfunction. I
am personally getting about 5 - 10 a day.

Unfortunately both our spam assassin experts are away for some time.
So before I go an peer at the entrails of spam assassin I was
wondering if anyone else has come up with some rules that catch these
things. Preferably without doing OCR on the image which has a
considerable performance penalty.
