Spam this..
"40% of all e-mail is spam."
Some of the spam I now receive in my inbox comes in using different language character sets (usually Asian), some of it comes in spoofing other organizations such as Zone Labs, and in a recent discussion on a mailing list I take part in, it was revealed that several spammers send fake "Your network is sending out spam, you are going to be added to a spam block list" messages to legitimate networks claiming to be sent from SpamCop.
The reason for this spoofing? In order to discredit SpamCop's reputation.
Spam; it was once an annoying, but for the most part wholly silly, form of marketing, that on the whole doesn't work.
How has this escalated into a fricken war?
I find this perfectly pathetic.
I am going to do give a little no-no right here, just because I hate use of stupid illogical practices even if in the pursuit of practically evil outcomes.
What am I babbling on about?
The tendency for moronic American (U.S.A.) spammers sending US-centric spam e-mails to a .co.***uk*** domain.
***.uk*** :: Anyone notice this part?
UK == United Kingdom, morons.
Not US, UK. I live in **ENGLAND**.
I don't care about cheaper gasoline, even if I did I'd be buying petrol and paying in pound sterling ([?]).
The whole point is, don't fucking bother sending the messages to a .co.uk domain, if you have any hopes of your message being read (which I've guessing you do as that's the whole reason for sending the bloody messages in the first place with the hopes of getting some money back in return for such evil pursuits), just don't bother sending them to a UK address when you're crap is for Americans.
It goes beyond the boundaries of stupidity, even for a spammer, who mostly set the bloody boundaries in the first place!
