Hi,
I have this simple little one-liner that should check the message body
and search for any of these words. Upon finding a match, it should send
the email to red-spam. Or at least I thought it should work this way.
But it doesn't. I still get this viagra crap, but I don't know why.
Can someone tell me why? ( The *'s are to make the line PG Rated )

red-spam
Robert,
You may be able to tune up your patterns to match the variant of the
v-word present in the example that you gave, but you may soon find that
most spam disquises the text in the body via base64, html, and other
encodings. Simple procmail scripts, and greps, won't be able to find
those obfuscated words.
Yeah, I grudgingly agree...
I'm not sure what MS, AOL, and the others are cooking up to combat this
stuff, ( regarding their recent alliance against spam producers ) but
the Internet as I have known it for many many years will probably have
to undergo a major change to prevent the abuse that seems to be running
rampant. It's either that, or we take the global approach: Start a new
Internet with controlled access.
Thanks for your explanation,
Robert
