I seem to have a rash of spam lately that gets by SA because the subject line and/or body of the message contains spam phrases but words have been obfuscated by inserting semicolons, periods and other punctuation or special characters. In somes cases, the punctuation displaces a character (s*xual) but most times, just breaks up the word so it doesn't pattern match (en;large.ment)
Has anyone had success writing tests that can catch this sort of trickery? It seems if you could come up with a level of punctuation WITHIN words or simply remove common punctuation from the subject/body before doing the pattern matching, SA will be able to identify these. Thanks.
