Well we could start running a OCR on any attached pictures, I'm thinking
of doing a whitelist set up where any message with attachment not on the
white list gets an auto response asking them to go to a web page to fill
out something to get on the whitelist - agreeing not to spam etc. Just
worried that it could be used in an attempt to spam bounce.
Bogofilter could also keep track of the number of spaces, underlines etc
- as a percent of the message as a statistical indicator. Or individual
letters surrounded by anything as a percent of the message.
t_h_a_t W_o_u_l_d catch some.
