    Big5

    I vaguely remember reading about a way to filter messages containing the Big5 character set.  At the time it wasn't relevant so I didn't make note of it.  About two months ago I acquired a spammer using Big5 who pops up all over the place from open proxies and I'd like a simple way of dealing with it.  Does anyone have a filtering rule that addresses this?

    In spambust.dat there is a section:

    # Chinese Spam: note that users in China will almost certainly
    # have to disable these tests - they are intended solely for
    # Westerners who are inundated with rubbish originating from
    # within Mainland China and Taiwan.
    if header "Content-Type" contains "Big5" weight 45
    if header "Content-Type" contains "GB2312" weight 45

    You can use this to build your filter.

    That's it!  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
