Spam, sp4m, sp@m, $p@m, and amspay

Top spammer obfuscated words: (-from sophos)

  1. cialis

  2. orgasms

  3. viagra


LOL, made me laugh, Daily we deal with large volumes of the stuff, and dealing with spam is messy business, but spamassassin can make it easier. The Bayesian filter with a little training on good mail (HAM) and bad mail (SPAM) does awesome work.

I still laugh when I read some of the messages, I just have a hard time believing anyone able to work a computer would be taken by such obvious flim flam.

Anyway,

Enjoy
