a new mail service has just delivered us a spammer whose first language is not English.

…and I must say, whose spam was not even coherent. If you are using ymail, and actually want to be a member of this site, please post and let me know. My default is to put ymail on the banned list, unless it proves a legitimate mail origin used by people who are not discussing red underwear. That was quite bizarre.

    Lol—Kokipy, I don’t know what site you’re using, but I’ve fished you out of the spam filter twice in two minutes! :lol: :lol:

  • I think all the stuff that ever showed up in my email via ymail *was* spam. (I sent it off to the mail provider’s spam filtering system.)

  • Tangentially Related: Several times over the past year, a flavor of spam that uses apparently random phrases lumped together, has arrived in any of my email boxes (Yahoo, Gmail, my own site’s email). I’d guess it’s a script throwing together text strings, because it’s unlike anything a non-fluent foreign speaker would do. It’s more like Mad Libs, but merely random instead of humorously constructive. And, y’know, it’s spam. Ick. Too bad it can’t feed the fusion drive….

    I posted yesterday from my new place of employment – a very very respectable wall street law firm. I hope I didn’t drag the red underwear with me!

    Kokipy, since you have changed employers, please send me your new email address. I have some red underwear that I think you would be interested in!

  • CJ

    No more red underwear—winter woolies come to mind ;) ymail is toastified.

    I’ve seen spam come through as Cyrillic and Chinese characters. The Cyrillic actually appeared as Cyrillic; the Chinese was those Microsoft blocks with the hotkey coding.
