Mike Douglas Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 i read about this in Wired. Its a new kind of spam which alerts the "big brother" censers in the US and Sweden by using keywords that alert the censer and hopefully flood the censers with so much e-mail that they give up on monitoring our e-mails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 This made me laugh out loud, its a bloody good idea from the spam companies, rendering our antispam software effectively harmful. I Know it wont work on some systems, where a word list is manually maintaned, but systems like spamassassin may well fall over when faced with this. This is a very interesting development! /me runs off feeling like geek for getting excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth3l Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 just an update. I run a webpage, and on that web page there is a mailing list. Well i am now receiving emails sent *to* the mailing list that are spam. So basically I guess the spammers hit my page and grabbed all the info they needed and now I am hit with all these freaking emails. Time to delete the mailing list.
