Back with a bang!
Happy 2007! At the time when people are energised given the beginning of a new year it’s appropriate to reflect on the large amount of emails I have, which are variations on this theme:

I don’t care why your ramrod is so small, but 87% of women do.

If you wont be satisfied – we will return all you money.
No bullshit.
Wonderful. I must give it to the spammers, though – they’re trying some pretty imaginative and rather funny subject lines. Here are some more:
Don’t be the “little guy” in the club. Where did you get so small &*^%? We can double your thing size.
I’m hoping that karma will track down these guys and teach them the true meaning of their phrase, “Sick of penis enlarge ripoffs?” There has been a large increase in spam recently – not so much in the amount being sent but the amount getting through the filters. I wish there was some way of fighting back (now that Blue Security decided to shut down after a massive DDOS, probably by a botnet hired by a Russian spammer they were targeting…but there’s always Blue’s new thing – Collactive). I use spamassassin on my domains but it doesn’t seem all that customisable under c-panel. It’s also pretty hopeless in SA since a lot of our ISP’s mail servers are open relays (shame on you, Vodacom) and often automatically marked as spam.
But I’m still wondering about that “87% of women” thing.
