The link would be different every time if I were trying to get past 
your spam filters.

You just need to buy a couple of dozen domains and randomise the link 
you're sending each time; set the webserver to return the same image 
everytime a gif is requested, whatever the full URL. The same gif is 
sent whether http://foospam.com/some.gif or 
www.barviagra.co.us/path/to/dirty,gif is requested.

I wonder if Mail.app is aware of the STP servers in the header - I 
believe this is quite a good way of catching spam these days.

Stroller.
