RE: Help with blocking Chinese Spam

Well, it is not easy to quote properly from hotmail. Excuse my mess up and top posting.
 
Bottom line is... I got rid of this chinese crap.
 
Thank you all for the help SA users.

Thank you David, Jared and Jari.

Adding:
Subject:raw =~/=\?utf-8\?B/i
Subject =~ /[\xe4-\xe9]/

caused this crap get caught. Both works, so I will keep David's advice.

So I think I will just remove this TexCat plugin which does not identify it properly.

This is great list, thanks again for everyone. All help appreciated.
