I do get shed loads of spam, but of late it seems to be getting a bit strange some rubbish about making millions had this at the bottom. Odd eh? Have no clue why they put it on.


All hunger at once left him, while he felt the same invigorating sensations as before. After a time the moon came out, and Rob amused himself gazing at the countless stars in the sky and wondering if the Demon was right when hesaid the world was the most important of all the planets

hi,

The reason is that they are trying to provide "content" in order to fool spam filters into thinking that its valid or at least give it a smaller "spaminess" score.

It rarely works though.

Ah that makes sense cheers gug. I wish my spam filter worked properly if I turn it up it rejects emails from my address book. I experimented the other day and had it on full my brother had sent a group email that day which it rejected. there must be someone out there who buys things off spam or there would be no point in sending them.

You should be able to add a "white list" to your anti-spam software so it will always pass emails from those people to you.
