Greetings.

   I'm new to this list, but not to SpamAssassin, and have a query
regarding some of the newer types of spam I'm beginning to see at a
small ISP I donate time to.

   Specifically, I'm talking about the kind of spam that shows up as
an HTML link to a HREFed image and *very* little else.  I've come up
with an additional "eval" for such things but am wondering if that's
already been handled by someone or something else.  From what I can
tell, this type of spam is aimed directly to defeat SpamAssassin and
other types of filters because of embedded new-lines and whatnot
that foil "body" and "rawbody" tests.

   What have the assembled masses here to say on the matter?  For the
sake of reference, here's an entire example:

<html><body>friendc
<p><a href="http://www.365pharm1.com/pa";><img 
border="0" src="http://www.8867v.com/file/ra.gif"; ></a></p>
<a href="http://www.365pharm1.com/page/a.html";>no more</a>
</body></html>

   Ideas are welcome.  If anybody wants to see my "eval" code they're
more than welcome.

   For what it's worth, I'm stuck at 2.43 because the newer versions
are too resource-intensive for my rather modest iron.

   Cheers.
