I banned *.gif files last year and have not regretted it. I use a open
relay filter that just removes the *.gif files from the email.

Subject: [THIN] OT: spam gifs

 

We've recently started receiving some spam that is simply a .gif that
contains the text so the spam filters aren't able to check content. It
appears that the only way to block this is to ban messages that contain
.gifs. Is it going to eventually come to that? Are any of you running
into the same dilemma?

 

Thanks,
