Well, I'm certainly willing and able to modify rules, but that's not
the case for lots of SpamAssassin users.  Part of this software's
appeal is its relative ease of use.  If this spamming technique
catches on, the manual tweaking of rules in order to make
SpamAssassin useful against it would lower the software's overall
desirability.

But sadly, I can't think of any way around this within SpamAssassin
itself (i.e., without having to use other software such as TMDA).
