Hello all!

Among all my customers we are getting many "Insurance" spam mails.
These mails are all well made and do not match the classic spam patterns and do not match DNSBL.

This causes a standard iRedMail installation with Spamasassin, Amavis, Graylisting etc. to actually pass these mails to our customers.

We are talking about dozens of emails per day per mailbox which are making their way though the spam filter.


What can be done to fight these spam emails?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Bernhard

Analyze mail log + mail headers to figure out the same / similar pattern of these emails, then block the senders based on the same/similar pattern.
