In fact, SA encourages it (for legit senders):
"*Tip*: if there are hits in the body of your mail-out, try rephrasing
those sentences. We find that spam often uses _exactly_ the same
phrases, over and over again, so we detect specific lines of text, and
in most cases, synonyms are ignored."

Well, if I were a Spammer, I'd study the rules (du jour, SARE,
sa-update), every day and work around the rules that hit my content.
I'd not bother trying to decode the threads on this list. However, I'm
not a spammer, so maybe they do something different.

There has been quite a bit of discussion of these spams recently.
See the current "TVD_SILLY_URI_OBFU" thread.
I will do..
Thanks,

I feel that, that thread is being watched by many. Even spammers.
I'm new, but I think it's interesting how there were a few rules
that were shared among the users here, and the spam has been able
to adjust according to those rules only. It is specific to that
spam type. Perhaps these things would be better handled outside
of our discussions, by the spamassassin team?
Again, I'm new here, and this has surely already been an issue in
the past, and handled accordingly. Can anyone correct me if I'm
wrong, please?
