Armoring Spam Against Anti-Spam Filters

Posted by timothy on Wednesday February 4, 2004 @03:18AM from the take-two-viagra-and-call-nigeria-in-the-a.m. dept.

moggyf points to a BBC article about how spam can be successfully tweaked to slip past current filtering methods, excerpting "To finding out how to beat the filters Mr Graham-Cumming sent himself the same message 10,000 times but to each one added a fixed number of random words. When a message got through he trained an 'evil' filter that helped to tune the perfect collection of additional words." iluvspam adds "It's an interview with POPFile author John Graham-Cumming that summarizes his talk at the recent MIT Spam Conference. You can still listen to the technical details here (choose the Afternoon 1 session, he starts about 75 minutes in)."

Another example of people assuming that EVERYBODY lives in the USA or is under US law...

Well, that's the American way of life. We're just following George's example. All hail our great leader!
