Catching Spam with Rules
I have gone a long way in automatically sending spam to the junk box buy
using rules. I have one type of SPAM that I can't get rid of though. The spam mostly comes describing financial investments. The email address is constantly changing so rules based on that are ineffective. The body usuallyh has a image that decribes the investment. In addition there is text that is gibberish but all validly spelled english words. Mostly sentences. Has anyone developed a rule strategy to deal with this type of Spam.

Catching Spam with Rules
Yes, I use a third party tool called SpamBayes - works quite well. Free from sourceforge.net.

Yes, Sometimes it will place it in my suspect folder, but mostly it lets it
