I've been repeatedly spammed at my home domain (brasslantern.com) by Asian (India, Hong Kong, Taiwan) purveyors of camping equipment, lamps and lanterns, and assorted other brassware. The worst offender is a Chinese "gentleman" who always politely identifies himself as "Mr. Tan River" (though lately he's dropped that from the message headers and gone to just using "Mr. River" in the body). All these spams carry between 1 and 12 GIF or JPEG images (photos of their products, or photos of paper catalog pages), ranging in size from 20k to 300k each; the messages frequently are 500k or larger. Aside from the image attachments, the only identifying marks are extremely poor written English. If they weren't so freaking huge, I'd read them for the amusement value alone. Last time one slipped through, it included an invitation to visit Mr. River's factory if I ever happened to be in China. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
