At my (small) site we receive very few legitimate emails that have
attached images that are referenced in the HTML of the message. It's
basically only a few droolers who decided to use an image as their sig.
Thus testing for /src\s*=\s*["']cid:/i in the rawbody of the message is
working very nicely against image spams.

False positives on those people with image sigs are prevented by AWL,
Bayes and not scoring the test too highly.

Is that positive enough?
