If you look at the SPF record for loverhearts.com (where they are coming from for me) there are a whole slew of servers permitted to send on their behalf.
So I took all those IP addresses specified and added them to my blacklist, it appears spammers are learning that SPF records can be a path to filter avoidance.
Maybe I'll start blocking any server with an SPF record that includes more than 5 IP addresses, or servers where any host in the SPF record is in a DNS blacklist.
. that can work. but is more than i care to bother with.
because i have filters and folders for what i want to read, everything else hits my "Local Folders/Inbox" where i mark them as spam.
reason is that there is a lot of spam content that is repeated by other spammers so the spam filters learn not only addresses, they also learn content.
anyway, as i always say, "what ever churns your butter". ;-)
