Well,
To toss it in, It is more like one or two a day. Not this massive
amount mind you, and it does come in handy for filter training. It's
annoying at times (I mean come on, how many times a day do you think
most people want to hear about male enhancement?) but all together
ignorable, and a good way to test your own spam solutions.
At least it is rather benign spam, not some of the more evil 'you
view/preview it, even by accident and your system is toast' type of
email maleware that comes around from time to time.
As a side note, this is the only SF list I am on that is getting
spam (I am on at least two others that are higher traffic than
BigSister) and there is maybe, at the most one spam that hits those list
a month, so maybe someone needs to check the SF filters. One of the ones
my filter got shows a good reason why it passes from SF:
X-Spam-Score: 1.4 (+)
X-Spam-Report: Spam Filtering performed by sourceforge.net.
See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details.

http://sf.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001
0.5 FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS From: ends in numbers
0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
0.1 RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL RBL: SORBS: sent directly from dynamic IP
address
[87.15.209.98 listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]
0.6 URIBL_SBL Contains an URL listed in the SBL blocklist
[URIs: cusiristom.com]
0.1 MIME_BOUND_NEXTPART Spam tool pattern in MIME boundary
Versus a more strict (anally strict?) filter:
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=8.529 tag=0.01 tag2=5 kill=6.31
tests=[HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100=0.5,
RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E8_51_100=1.5, RAZOR2_CHECK=0.5, SPF_NEUTRAL=1.21,
URIBL_BLACK=1.961, URIBL_JP_SURBL=2.857]
It would seem that SF is the least sensitive filter in the mix
(understandably so, the less sensitive it is, the less users emails are
lost due to false positives.)
Not sure if this helps anyone though, but it is a good insight into this
and why the list gets it.
Regards,
Seann
