Re: cannot filter virus letters

If indeed it's mostly viruses, I would recommend putting a virus scanner 
such as ClamAV in front of Bogofilter in your tool chain.  That has been 
pretty effective for me.

However, I also developed "spamitarium" for exactly this case... very 
limited bodies putting extra emphasis on headers.  Spamitarium basically 
performs SpamAssassin type of analysis, but instead of generating a 
"score", it removes unnecessary, questionable noise and it generates 
extra tokens which makes Bogofilter more effective.

To try it out, download it here:

I've had a lot of success in eliminating the type of spams you describe 
with this script in front of Bogofilter.
