Image Spam? Solution here!

[lpittman]

Hey!

I've been struggling with stupid Image Spam as I'm sure a lot of you have been as well. I found a solution with a SpamAssassin plugin called FuzzyOcr. I followed instructions here:

And have successfully installed it on my CentOS 4.3/Plesk 8.1.0 server by modifying one thing in his article:

Under CentOS/RHEL 4 :
cp FuzzyOcr.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/

I had to use the following instead:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/

Everything is working great and now my spam is back down to normal, hope this helps others.
