What is the spam format? So far I've not noticed any obvious spam
on the list. I don't, however, read every message.
(I have a rather draconian and well trained SpamAssassin here.)
If the spam is image spam with random text there is a way to deal with
it in development. It's called FuzzyOCR. And it can be found on the
SA wiki under plugins, I believe.
