Stock pumping

I am getting stock pump emails on a several times daily basis that
are not being filtered. I report them all (to SpamCop AND to the SEC)
and still they come.

I use all the offered blacklists and an SA level of 4.

Doesn't Spamcop or SA recognize this content by now and score it highly?

Example: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?
id=z891253259z8da4866d5e0acf7c33a1aed60f4f24aaz

Thanks,
Paul

I use all of SC's blacklists and SA is set to 1. It's not much away from
blocking everything :)
I whitelist anything that gets caught improperly.
The P&D junk gets caught, but surprisingly, once in a very great while
real spam does not get caught although it is in my blacklist. I suppose
nothing is perfect. I would say that 99.99% of SC's catches are correct,
based on my settings.
You probably have your SA set too high. Most stock scams almost read
like real email.

Yes they do....here's the SC scoring line from one of them:

X-Spam-Status: hits=0.0 tests=HTML_MESSAGE

So even with an SA setting as low as 1, the message would still have gotten
through. I think there's something else wrong with the blocking associated
with our email accounts.

Me too....a LOT of them, and all of a sudden. I suspect there are problems
with the SC blacklist implementation...specifically the CBL.
