I knew that was Iggy as soon as I saw it.

I really don't understand spam these days. This is an email I just received. Chinese campfire? CHINESE CAMPFIRE!?

in internet email gateways, one thing SPAM detection software does is analyse the body of the email.

if duplicate emails are being sent to many addresses the message becomes suspect. Throwing a bunch of nonsense (quasi-randomly generated wordlists) into the body of the individual emails makes each message unique enough to fool anti-spam measures when passing through servers.

I'm still confused.

I mean, that was the entire email. So what on earth could the purpose of that email have been? To amuse me? To get me to make a Chinese campfire? I mean it wasn't even porn related. I demand more of this kind of thing. More meaningless emails. Right now!

those normally contain a crappy GIF image where the real advertisement is contained

if that wasn't attached, I don't know. Maybe the Russian crime syndicate needs to hire better spambot programmers?

Oh. Firefox.

I think you might be on to something there. Haha. Well, it was fun while it lasted. I guess that's why I love b3ta. We really have no purpose here. Just to be unlawful and creative. And irreverent.
