I'm already looking at everything with spamd, but this stuff is a new 
style with a payload url, and gibberish text, often mentioning the 
matrix.  And while bayes will eventually get smart, it hasn't yet.

But I have a cron job that feeds that stuff to sa-learn every night, but 
that takes weeks to register in that database.  You folks seem to be 
more actively trying to do something about it.
