Good point. The fact that they have to resort to gibberish, image spam, 
pdf spam all of which is far harder than clocking on a link shows we are 
winning. Their return in the amount of spam they send has to be rather 
small.

I had a load of those caught last night, annoyingly I've just cleared
out spam so I'm not sure which ruleset was primarily responsible for
catching them. I'll post when I get more through.
