I have now went through my config so I will post it if needed. What
I'm facing now is spam that looks normal. Looks like a reject but is
not in some cases. The problem is that since these e-mails are
delivered to the user account. I really don't have an example to post
from the q. I use postini, mailscanner, that uses clamav and
spamassasian. That does a good job but I still get spam through. Even
on top of using outlook 2003 / 2007 spam filter. The current small
batch of say 5 messages looked like rejects. Sure I can look at the
header and see what server they are comming from. In fact some of the
messages are from postmaster at whatever server. But it does not
matter. This spam slips through and I'm told about it. I cannot tell
them to black list the address since it keeps changing. I think I need
a better spam filter or to change some settings. But how do you kill
mail that looks normal?

(I think I asked this before. So plz forgive me if I did. Perhaps this
plea for help for have some new ideas)

Are these so normal that they don't even look alike? I can't imagine
humans writing decent message content on spammer scales, so they must
have some better AI these days (probably using the same anti-spam
filters to train their own spam generators).

No the message is different. Like this time around they look like this:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

authentically3(a)raisley.com

Final-Recipient: rfc958;authentically3(a)raisley.com
Action: failed
Status: 1.2.0


I prefer not keeping a long list of block. I would like to stop this
garbage before it gets to me. The domain and mail address changes
though.

Start here:

And read up on the VBounce rules in SpamAssassin. Since
you're using an outside mail filtering service, RBLs won't help.

so you're using postini but still have a spam problem? hmmm. do you
accept mail from anything but postini servers? if so, why? ... please
give a detailed explanation of your setup, and show your configuration
(postconf -n).
