Re: Recipe for poorly spelled emails or blacklisted keywords?

2004-02-11 20:23:22
I have written a lot of custom filtering scripts only to find that the next
wave of  spam so far  "out-of-control" with random character substitution
of proper words..

Unrelated to my filters, I linked the resources at  spamhaus.org  into
my systems global procmailrc and it appears to snaffu close to 98%
of the spam, based on IP address.

The balance of the spam squeeking through are being sent by infected
home computers connected to the net through an (A)DSL provider.

Hi all. Just wondering two things. Is there a recipe that would look at an email and grade its spamyness based on how many misspelled words are in it? I've seen some emails lately that have been getting through solely on the basis that the spammer is good at using garbage, random or intentionally misspelled things to defeat the filters. So now I'm looking for a way to watch for those emails and just can them if they're too badly misspelled. Is there a way to do that or not yet?

Also, is there a way to can an email based on certain keywords? Kinda like a whitelist, only backwards where if someone had the word tentical or office space or something like that in an email, it gets canned. I hoping there is becuase this would cure yet another problem I'm having with leaking spam. Any pointers are welcome. Thanks.
