"Are you fond of Ukrainian ladies??" spam

[Geek 0]

Hi,

These have pretty much been my exclusive spam since late last week (and LOTS of it). Always a Russian spam-advertized domain.

But that's not why I'm posting....

There's something in there that totally blasts through Thunderbird's junk filters ... it cannot be taught to nuke it.

They do not use addresses in my address book (a common ploy to blow through the filter).

Any other Thunderbird users having similar? Is there something "special" going on in this spam?

Cheers!

Hi, Geek,

...Sorry for the no-doubt stupid question but I have to ask, for the benefit of less experienced readers who might drop by later if not for you -- you didn't white-list yourself and the spam includes you in the "To" or "Cc" list, correct?

Correct.

Sometimes my address appears in the "To", but by far the majority, it does not.

Cheers!
