Today I got a spam that achieved 9.9 points on my system.
It took a look at it and apart from what it was selling,
it had a weird box consisting of many lines of gray
dots at the end of the HTML message.
I checked the source of the message and discovered that
it had a block of text in font size 1. the tag:
<font style="font-size: 1pt">
This font size did not trigger any rule. The same message had
big fonts in the readable parts and it triggered HTML_FONT_BIG
but nothing for the tiny font. Shouldn't this also be part
of the core rules?
The block itself had more than 12,000 characters which were more than
1400 words smilingly randomly selected from a dictionary, some
puncutation marks but no grammer followed and it was
nothing that made sense.
I don't know what systems or rules this spammer was trying to fool.
