Are they still getting past SpamBayes? A couple months ago, I trained the instance on m.p.o on a few of those spams. I haven't seen any others since then, and no messages on the postmaster list discussing them. I just skimmed the archives for November and December but saw no examples. Generally, when Ralf or Mark delete spams, then manually rewrite the Subject: and From: headers and zero out the message body. I saw nothing like those placeholders either.
