Weird spam email.

Some people must really be depressed.

Probably different for each email to make it harder to spam filter (though an email with only numbers and whitespace wouldn't be too hard to define I suppose)

yes makes it harder to screen indeed

Any good spam filter would convert it into an image and run it through a OCR...[/lol]

Based on that, you should go with the ******.

I think some spam filters can be configured to refuse arbitrary messages.

Boy, spammers get more creative as time goes by. I don't think we'll get rid of spam totally in our lifetimes. :)

We have to develop the habit for living with spam. Because
"The total volume of spam ( over 100 billion emails per day as of April 2008 )"

What always impresses me is that spam must generate some money. That means that someone looked at this message and thought, "Well, this sounds like an awesome idea! I have a couple of bucks."

Unless there's just a crazy, bitter, and incredibly rich person who simply likes frustrating and annoying people.

I think he noticed that, its just that he was wondering if the numbers themselves (not their arrangement) had any significance.

thats cool. You know, in the past people suggested a minimal cost (e.g. 1 cent) for sending an email. Maybe instead there could either be a law against non-solicited advertising (easy to trace, since they want you to buy something from them).

Alternatively, if that too difficult, maybe there could be a charge for sending more than 8 emails at a time?

Anyway, I'm impressed with the spam - very clever. However, who is it that buys all this ****** on the internet??? Why is it always ******, other drugs, and ***** enlargement or some weird sexual thing?? Are all these drugs fake? Why is it even worth their trouble! I have an anti-marketing policy, in that if I feel that there is too much marketing material which interfers with my daily life I actively avoid that company. So, no more ****** for me!
