Hi,

I've been receiving a handful of spam claiming to be from whatsapp,
and I can't figure out how to block it.

What does a legitimate whatsapp email look like? I've searched their
site, and their DNS entry doesn't even have an MX record, let alone
any indication of SPF, etc.

Bayes is obviously a problem, but my bayes db generally performs well.
I'm sure the domains in the body would be listed now, and probably the
source addresses too.

Ideas greatly appreciated.

It looks like they are doing unicode obfuscation of text in the body:

WhatsApp W=C3=A8b     You h=C3=A4ve a new message   D=C3=A8tails:

Not sure if the Unicode replace stuff will catch it, but you might try this:

  body          FUZZY_DETAILS  /<D>(?:etails)<E><T><A><I><L><S>/i
  replace_rules FUZZY_DETAILS

It doesn't catch it, and I don't know enough about replace_rules to
figure it out.

Rats. It would probably involve changes to 25_replace.cf

Is there supposed to be an existing FUZZY_DETAILS rule?

I don't think so.
