Creative Spamming...How annoying is THAT???

We are all familiar with the countless spam emails we receive daily. In order to combat the useless junk, most companies implement aggressive filters that search for certain words and immedialy discard emails that contain those words.

 

Some of the most popular ones (the emails that is) are about a certain blue pill, or some kind of treatment to enlarge the male reproductive organ etc...

 

Well it seems the spammers are aware of the filters and are creatively spelling or wording their emails to get past the blocks. Just today I got this email with the following title:

Don't let them mock you babymaker! LOL

 

Seriously??? I mean for the love of pete what will they think of next???

 

Stay safe all. 

 

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?

Managing spam is an ongoing process and 100% filtering can never be achieved but good filters narrow down this gap. There are some filters which claim 100% results but these block good mails as well.

i know qatari is filtering this email and username, but the people behind this spams will just create new emails again and send us again...
