SpamTricks

SpamTricks

Mailshell defines SpamTricks two ways:

    a) Tactics spammers use to reduce the costs of sending large volumes of mail; and
    b) Tactics spammers employ to circumvent spam filters.

Common tricks include uses of image-only messages, HTML obfuscation, and manipulation using relays, mail formats and various header analysis including time stamps, header analysis and SMTP envelope analysis.

SpamTricks also looks for fraudulent spam, frequently known as 'phishing' whereby messages appear to be from a known company and attempt to trick users into revealing personal information.
