Every day I have to delete at least 5 spam mails trying to sell me stiffy drugs.

Does anyone else get these all the time? They're annoying as hell. It's totally conceivable that a friend has signed me up for some info for a laugh, hence the question...

yeah!

i not only get a whole bunch of those but i get some *really* random shit:

last week it was an email offering to show you 'raccoon fellatio' if you visit a particular site. embarressingly i was actually intrigued enough to check it out and it turns out they were lying. for those that care though, it can be found if you are an internet search guru like one of my friends - it took him the best part of a friday night though!

today i get an email from someone in nigeria requiring a fund manager to deal with one of their client's silly amounts of money (circa US$55m). i might consider it but i'm about as far as you can get from being an accountant and i haven't the first clue how to launder more than about £500

and those 'unsubscribe' options never bloody work.

The internet has decided I need a larger penis and much larger breasts as well. I never really thought of that but if the internet thinks I do I guess I should at least consider it...

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Well, Jo, you can look at it this way...if you aren't getting the penile enlargement ads, then the internet gods evidentally think you are large enough...that is one good thing right?

I get ones for a bigger penis (how do you enlarge nothing anyway?), possibly a working penis (I can find someone if I want one of those, I am sure..Hey Jo, whatcha doing later?? ), bigger boobs...I *really* don't need those as mine are just fine I am told, arse patches to make me thinner (might think on that) and all the sex I could ever want for $19.95 a month! Wahooey!

Man with all that...who needs a date, or a Real Doll?

I get spammed for:

*A larger penis (thanks, I like mine)
*Bigger breasts (thanks again...I like mine)
*Work from home (Does that mean I should make house calls?)
*Foreign bank account frauds (What kind of idiot do they think I am?)
*YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR A DEGREE BASED ON WORK YOU'VE ALREADY DONE! (Gee, ya think?)
*kwerncd owerjow (do they honestly think I'm going to open an E-mail with that subject?)
*Click here! (might help if it was actually a link, rather than just plain text.)
*And of course, høt t€€nage sørørity g¡rls £ucking farm animals and that sort of thing. (I'm trying to avoid search hits, Malcolm!)

yah, I think everyone gets these crap emails.

Never use the "unsubscribe" services though - it just tells them that a.) you're recieving their emails, and b.) you actually read through it, even if only to find the unsubscribe feature. And hence they make a point of continuing to send them to you.

here's a good way to start each day in the office/at the computer.

Make yourself comfortable.
Open the first few pieces of spam, look at the website they advertise.
Do a dns lookup on it
Lookup the netblock owner
Forward the email with full headers to the netblock owner adding the word SPAM to the topic.

It takes 30 seconds per email and if everyone who gets spammed did 2 a day it would really cut down on the amount of spam around. The ISPs that host these people don't get paid enough to bother dealing with one or 2 emails. But if from a mailout of several million 1% of the people complain the spammers loose their hosting/connection because they can't afford the administration costs of dealing with each one. The spammers will of course move ISP, but sooner or later they give up. There are of course some unscrupulous large ISPs (generally all american) who really don't care if their networks are used for spam if the price is right, but smaller ISPs do take a notice.

Now, who wants a new septic tank?

For some reason all the one I get ones in Spanish. Smooth move, advertisers, not only are you trying to sell me stuff I don't need, but you're telling me about it in a language I don't understand.

:: off to find a english/spanish dictionary ::

I also got one that was aimed squarely at Christian fundamentalists, offering me the chance to email God.

I actually get a lot in Korean...or what attempts to be korean. I know it's trying to be korean because of the .kr domain names. I've just blocked all .kr domain names. I don't know anyone in Korea, anyways, so I can block the whole country no problem.

But it comes through looking like this: "????? ?????# ????#???"

Oh. Darn it!

The internet has now decided I do need a further 3 inches.

So, what am I doing later, Pele? Well, I guess It'll be quality 'growing' time. I'll let you know when I'm done.

Jo.

I, on the other hand, am fast aproaching 33 and as gravity takes it's toll on my body I need all the help I can get. These spam e-mails make me yearn for things I can't afford

Why is unsolicited e-mail called spam?

Are we nearly there yet?

Spam is a type of meat loaf made of pork. Its use to describe bulk mails stems from a really funny monty python sketch where this guy goes into a restaurant and asks whats on the menu. Everything he asks for (indeed everything on the menu) has spam in it, he doesn't like spam and asks if there isn't something without spam. The waitress replies in a classic way "there's spam, spam, spam, eggs, chips and spam, that hasn't got a lot of spam in it!" (or something probably a lot more funny but i can't remember the exact line)
Then a curtain is lifted and in the background some vikings start chanting away singing "spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam!"
its wicked.

I guess its just the idea of spam not being very nice really and the poor bloke being able to get away from it.

the spam page...
