Thanks! And yes indeed, this series of "please help me deposit my $55
million" spam is slippery, with the key words (and amounts, and
formatting) changing around a lot from message to message. So I've
added a few more phrases to the "dirty words" filter and made a few
other tweaks. But I can't tell you what they are, or this message will
be trapped too. ;-)
The good news is, the filters are otherwise working very well, catching
(on average) 50-100 spams a day. However they do catch a
Performer-related message about once a week -- we're working on ways to
improve that.
If anyone has troubles, or has sent something that didn't come through
yet -- please drop us a line at info-performer-request++at++sgi.com.
