So based on the X-Spam-Report in both Todd's posting and mine, seems
like neither of us has hit the spam "perfect storm" yet, which at least
as near as I can figure out, would be Korean spammer from empas.com
using an HTML body and a subject line in mixed Korean and English to
flog multiple brand-name controlled substances by name.
But, as they say, the polls are still open.
Can anyone top 72.3?
BTW: if you store your spam in folder $HOME/Mail/SPAM, the command pipe
to find the maximum spam score is:
grep "^X-Spam-Status: Yes, score" $HOME/Mail/SPAM \
| cut -d'=' -f2 \
| cut -d' ' -f1 \
| sort -n \
| tail -1
-S
