Re: spam assassin rules for Pharmacy image spam

[Dan Oachs <doachs () GAC EDU>]

Take a look at the spamassassin users mailing list archives.  It has
been discussed a few times on there lately.  I think the thread called
"Almost no score" has a few recommendations.

I have not been getting very many of them lately, and those that do make
it to my inbox usually score about a 5 ( I have my limit set to 5.1 ).
A couple of things that have helped us are to run sa-update daily and
grab updates from saupdates.openprotect.com and updates.spamassassin.org.

We also added barracudacentral.org blacklist which has helped some too.
