I'm not able to find any hyperlinks in the email. I can't click on the
picture or anywhere else that I've found. I viewed the html code in the
email and this is all that is there:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0000" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><IMG alt="" hspace=0
src="cid:001c01c66446$3573aee0$7aa4e248@umu"; align=baseline
border=0></FONT></DIV>
</BODY></HTML>

The giff (or other image) is inbedded within the e-mail (as displayed to
the user) with html code. If a recipeint clicks anyware on the image it
usually trys to open a url (sometimes it uses a Mail to: link instead).
While no system can catch EVERY spam we are finding the software we are
using IS catching better than 95% of spam with VERY few false positives.
In our case simply stripping the image from inbound messages is NOT an
option - firstly because we do receive a significant number image files
as part of the work we do and secondly our staff would moan like heck if
they still got hundreds of "blank" spam mail. BTW - what happens if a
user clicks on the "white space" of one of the messages you have
stripped the giff out of - does it still try yo open the url?
