Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 , Love the idea. Here's what I sent to him: paul_rincon1212@... <paul_rincon1212@...>Subject: It Could Be You!HEY THERE, YOU!YOU COULD BE THE LUCKY WINNER OF TWO FREE TICKETS TO OUR SPAGHETTI DINNER NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE RECEPTION HALL. TICKETS ARE GOING LIKE HOTCAKES, BUT YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY IF YOU WIN THIS FREEBIE.ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR THE DRAWING IS TO POST ADS ON PRIVATE MEDICAL BOARDS ON THE INTERNET. THE MORE IRRITATING, BORING, UNWANTED ADS YOU POST ON RESTRICTED, PRIVATE BOARDS, THE MORE ENTRIES YOU WILL GET INTO THE BIG DRAWING. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE OBNOXIOUS, POST SEVERAL ADS OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THAT WILL REALLY PISS PEOPLE OFF, BUT IT INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING THE DRAWING. EVEN MORE ENTRIES WILL BE ASSIGNED IF YOUR ADS DEAL WITH THINGS THAT PEOPLE REALLY, GENUINELY, HONESTLY DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Your post didn't reproduce here. It must have been an image. This will keep the digest readers happy, anyway. FWIW, the spirit of this is great, but one thing you definitely accomplished is confirmed for the automated system that produced the original spam that your e-mail address is valid, all but guaranteeing you personally receive more spam from the sender and any of up to dozens of others that use the same database of valid e-mail addresses. One of the things I do for a living is the system administrator of an internet service provider. I developed anti-spam software for use at the server level. The technique used by this spammer is called " fishing " in the business (computer geeks are so creative with their technical terms). A prolific spammer will send out millions of e-mails a day, both to known addresses and random ones. The invalid ones bounce back. One that doesn't bounce back isn't necessarily being received by a human, though. The really choice addresses are the ones that reply. Those are almost guaranteed to be human generated. Automatic filters (good ones) never reply. The smart spammers are now sending some very creative e-mails to entice people to reply either out of rage, curiosity, greed, lust, etc. The servers where I work receive about 1 million e-mails a day, so I see much spam. The best approach is to bite our tongues and ignore spam and never, ever give any spammer any business. The spam " industry " alone is multi-billion dollar now. There's someone out there pumping a lot of money into the industries behind the spam. If everyone (not directed at anyone personally) would stop paying spammers they would wither away. Again, just fwiw, and again my personal opinion is the spirit of what you said is great. Maybe a human will read it at the other end and it *will* make a difference. I have one userid with which I never do any of the wrong things that draw spam and it gets none, going through no filters. I have others that are " honey pots " , intentionally made to look good to spammers just to get a diverse sample. The worst one gets around 500 every day. Allan Eisel wrote: > , > > Love the idea.
