I looked into the text of some of those (got hundreds if not thousands a day to choose from) and the text is also very topical. this bit of spam seems obviousely designed for an OSS person (as in, harvested from a web archive of a technical mailing list?) with words from the FOSS world mixed in and even "Hebrew" and "rtl" for a more direct hit on some of us, specific words that will be "kosher" for the bayesian check...
It can still be a coincidence. For example, the text also has words like "foreign" "office" so maybe it's not "all about you".
also, I once thought that using the many addresses I do would help me filter out spam easier, but today I discover it just means I get more copies of the spams to too many addresses.
Yup, begun following your practice originally and ended up just the same.
what do YOU do to fight this? the smartest filter I know is Google's and even IT fails on some spams every day.
Has anyone tried greylisting? This won't hold for long, but as long as large sites don't employ it, it can remain useful. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
