Russian spam

[Richard Smits <R....@tudelft.nl>]

Hello,

Does anyone knows any tricks to fight russian spam ? We are getting a 
lot of this for the last weeks.

I am looking at the RelayCountry plugin, but am worried that our russian 
customers will get more false positives.

It is difficult because SA does not recognize the russian charset, but 
are there some secret tricks i should know about ?

Greetings, Richard ...

I think that properly configured ok_locales and ok_languages should catch
most of russian spam, of course unless you put 'ru' there :)

It's also never bad to train those as spam...

I have dealt with Russian spam by using on "en" in the ok_languages 
variable and increasing the score for "UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY" to 10. I 
also increased the "CHARSET_FARAWAY" and "CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADER" 
scores. However, the email addresses on the server I manage are all 
English speaking people, so be careful with the changes you make.
