Dunno, I am trying to figure out suitable Perl-RE filters which
would match only these ALL CAPITALS scam letters, and yet not to
match any legitimate postings...

The principal problem is, I think, that Majordomo filtering works
within the individual lines of the message, not by the entire message,
and there could be some legitimate email with all-capital lines...

Traping on keywords fails also when they are (intentionally ?)
mis-spelled.

Anti-spam technology really needs constant evolution, as those
spammers do evolve themselves...
