weird colored spam... How do I get rid of it? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm getting LOTS of weird spam...

It's like a funny color block with weird colored text in it with no clickable links and the text is a picture (but not one that outlook express seems to block)...

It usually promotes stocks?!?

It's pretty much the only spam my anti spam software can't block... but it's starting to piss me off and more and more comes every day...

Anybody else get this? and how can I stop it?

Whoever is doing it needs at least a 10 year stretch IMO or a fuckin bullet

Sounds like I'm not the only one then...

Interesting page that seems to be talking about the same thing

Short excerpt

"Is there anything I can do?

The best thing is to try to filter the spam. Unfortunately, this isn't easy. Stock spammers try particularly hard to avoid spam filters. Recently, many of them have taken to sending their messages as embedded images accompanied by random 'hashbuster' text in order to get past filtering."
