Spam Leaking

Lots of customers are currently getting spam leakage at the moment with small spams having the following types of email bodies:

I pulled in $708 in a few days doing stuff on the computer! Made it with - http://x.co/KmMx Keep this a secret!

We have stopped this by adding the following two lines into the text censor “Administrator maintained keyword list” with the normal 5 trigger score score.

Your text censor might complain about using the character : or / , in which case add them to the special character matching in the text censor then add your two line entries. This assumes you are running this as a spam rule, if you aren’t check your spam rules for Block Spam - Administrator maintained and turn it on.

Other entries can be made if you want, but this should stop almost all of it. We expect this to abate as SURBLs add the URLs to their automated blacklisting.

Any problems just ring.
