You will need giftopnm and gocr installed.

Installation

Save the two files below in your local configuration directory, adjusting the score in Ocr.cf as you like, and the wordlist (my @words =) in Ocr.pm according to the spam you are receiving. You might want to run gocr
by hand on the image attachments to look for words that are correctly recognized.

Remarks

• Note that this is my first SA plugin, so any feedback is welcome
• The words checked for are specific for some spam I received a lot of recently.
• gocr can take up quite a bit of resources, so be careful. But it is only executed for messages that contain gif attachments.
  

ToDo

• TODO: Words are hardcoded. Should be a configuration parameter instead.
• Instead of checking for specific words, it might be better to "check if the image contains a certain amount of text", since it is not very likely that people send legitimate mail with text in images.
