Various french news sites report that Nicolas Sarkozy (french minister and head of the right-wing UMP party) is in the process of spamming french citizens with his crap propaganda. Strangely enough, I didn’t get his mail, although my mail address is probably in every spammer’s database… So I found a copy of the spam on Internet, looked at its headers, gave a look at my Postfix logs, and after grepping accordingly, it looks like I got it:

Looks like my Spamassassin is well-trained and doesn’t miss any junk, after all! :-)
Wow, I did not get it either however this would be fun to see the face of that message in usual spammed mailboxes : « increase your penis size » « a message from M Sarkozy » « buy medicines and viagra for cheap »…
Basically, I won’t trust about reliability of such email but in fact, this is really this french party UMP :
