Is there a way to uncompress something that identifies
itself as a .gif file to try to figure out what it really is?
I have a rich collection of spam that consists of the
usual pathetic biz and pharma-related babel mixed with an equally
obnoxious load of Microsoft virus exploit attempts. On a UNIX
system, the Microsoft exploits mean nothing, especially if you
don't forward them, but the messages have a lot of nondescript
random text fragments in them which probably make the bogofilter
data base I am building less effective.
The goal is to be good at filtering out the commercial
spam and then have a mechanism for detecting the exploit
messages which frequently slip through bogofilter because they
look too much like legitimate traffic.
