You can try adding

<div>

to your keyword blacklist.
It appears that is what the spammer is using.

the <div> idea is good expect that alot of email we receive is in HTML format nowadays so this will cause issues. 

 

I was hoping we could find away of getting spam filter to read the file as it would appear to the end user.  then scan for keywords.  Here is th HTML for the email if that helps.

I generally target these by keywording the site referenced, this way I block recurrances of this message and anything else referencing this site.  In this case:

(\bsomeseoul\.com\b)

would block any references to this site in future emails.  Works good for me.

Hint - try and target stuff in the HTML - cuts down on the false-positives.
