Silly Spammers, Email is for Humans

Honestly, what's the point of this spam?

That's the ENTIRE message. Not even something for me to click on. No executables or anything else to spread viruses. Spooky thing is that they managed to figure out a number of related accounts on the same domain. Then they went through the effort of sending an email.... with no possible way for recipients to 'bite' should they find the 'message' enticing.

Idiots.

From what I can tell, it's actually somewhat clever. I've seen messages like this a few times, and what I gather is that the spammer is trying to overload Bayesian filters with all the gibberish.

Yeah, this piglet TOTALLY got past my filters. Which is what made me take note of it.

My beef is that they had my attention - and did nothing with it. (Not that I'm advocating better spam mind you... just noting the EXTRAORDINARY effort they put in to assembling a message, and slipping it past my defences, only to forget the payload. )

I'm reminded of Sir Bedevere: "Well, we could build a giant wombat.." (after the Trojan Rabbit worked so well... but they forgot to put anyone in it).

But yeah... all that goop totally got past my filters...
