Got something I was wondering about - A lot the spam that slips through my Yahoo mail filters, has this random string of words. Is this an attempt to fool the filter into believing this is good email?
Here's an example:

"Indeed, coward toward tomato a change of heart about tenor near.But they need to remember how ostensibly line dancer over beams with joy.When salad dressing behind short order cook is placid, of pit viper sell to gypsy living with insurance agent.Where we can underhandedly give secret financial aid to our bartender.When bicep toward is purple, related to polar bear reach an understanding with gonad defined by.
age travertine awl fang knives"

Seems like there's some kind of random word generator. Any ideas?

spam will probably continue because as you block one based on it's email address, the same message comes to you with a different email address.

if you are confident every one who is going to email you has your email address, set the filter, i assume yahoo has a spam filter higher then you have it now.

before you clear out your junk mail folder, you wil want to scan through the messages andif you find it is from someone you want email from, mark it not junk.

i am using the only terms i know, because i use hotmail, and i have found it will filter some of the guys emails into the junk mail folder. the hotmail filter does screen most spam quite well.

as far as the misspelled words and all the other wierd stuff, i too will look for someone else to give us both an idea why.

the deliberately misspelled words are attempts to get through filters that may block out emails containing certain words like "girls" and "porn" and "erection" commonly used in spam for porn, viagra, etc.

i'm curious about the weird words/sentence fragments at the top or bottom of such spam mails, too. i assume that this, too, is filter-related, but i honestly don't know whuddup with that.
