SPAM these days using more random words

[Brent]

making it harder for spam filters to catch spam emails

I use spamihilator, latest version, and I find it is missing more and more spam emails each day, note that I do have it on Normal mode and not the High or Very High settings. But the fact is that even at Normal settings the number of emails getting through is increasing because spam emails are using random word generators to get through spam filters.

I hate email spam with a passion.

AntiSpam that uses filters is a hopeless battle. It's the least effective antispam method. See this:

TonyT, just wanted to let you know that my solution is still working well.. I have had a few spam messages get through. Probably cause the headers looked legit and the names also looked legit. Anyway, I had one time where the 5 spam in one hour rule was exceeded.

Other than that, it's been working great for me since that last post. Of course, the new spam is placed in the spam folder for learning and it seems to be learning rather well.
