Hi,
I've keep getting the same spam every now and then. I think i have reported this spam atleast 4 times on the submission form at rulesemporium.com.
How come it won't be listed?
The domain in the spam is http://www.pinksheetsMUNGED.com and the spam is about stocks. I get this spam reported almost every day from different users in our organization.
This is 100% spam!
When will this be added to multi? I can send the message in original if you want, just let me know.
Thank you
/ Martin

Stocks spams don't advertise websites of spams but stocks the spammer owns.
pinksheets.com is a domain created in 1996. It's in the SURBL whitelist. It not only has > 400 NANAS sightings but also 50 misc.invest.stocks sightings, i.e. legitimate uses.

Hi Joe,
Ok, can you (or someone else) please give me an advice how to stop this spam? I'm using different SARE rules and others, but it won't catch this spam. Since my first post i've recieved about five more of this spam.
Spam attached.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin, As Joe says, since the stock spams usually don't have URIs belonging to the spammers, we can't usually catch them with SURBLs. Perhaps there is a SARE rule which will catch these. You may want to ask on the SpamAssassin Users mailing list.

Hi Martin,
for my own spam filter these stock spams have just about the highest rate of false negatives, along with diploma spams that only list a phone number. But I accept that because I'd hate to swap that for a higher FP rate.
At least stock spams don't include sexually explicit content and are not sent in huge volume. They are relatively benign as long as you are aware that whatever they recommend is worthless :-)
I award points for terms such as
"Pink Sheets:" "OTCBB" "OTC BB" "OTC Bulletin Board" "OTC:"
as well as
"forward-looking statements" "forward looking statements" "Section 27A" "Securities Act of 1933" "Section 21B" "Exchange Act of 1934"
If I get some points on top of this for direct-to-mx delivery, sending from SBL/XBL-listed servers, delivery from certain countries, recognizable ratware mailer, etc. then this is enough to catch it for me. Otherwise it just slips under the radar screen.
Joe
