Completely random – over last night I got another thirteen trackback spams for Google, MSN and Yahoo. Some scripting kiddy who doesn’t have a clue? Or some spammer without two brain cells to rub together?

I just got a trackback spam for msn.com. Not a clue why anyone would do that – random crazy spammers.

Also, some of the junk filler in spam emails can be quite interesting in a completely odd way. It’s there to make the spam to normal word balance less spammy, but I posted some interesting ones on my forum (http://forums.hiveworldterra.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=666)

I’ve had spam offering to sell me mailing lists. Wonder whether it’s the same mailing list they used to send me the spam?

Also had some ‘failed’ spam that’s either not had a body, some haven’t even managed all of the headers, and I had one that attached an alternate HTML version to the email, only to leave the HTML version empty.

Most of the comment spam I had was fairly standard, though. Apart from the odd “like your site…..[insert random poker/drugs spam here]” comment.

Hahaha, that’s a classic! Will they ever learn?

I recently got this one: subject: “whatever”; text-only content (of course it went right into the junk-mail folder): “buy viagra or die.”

Hilarious. Now that the spam doesn’t work so well any more, maybe some threats will help!
