Right, I actually looked into the spam folders of my MSN email account today. And much to my surprise, I realised that long ago all my contacts email addresses had been banished to the spam filter. Why,

Email said:
if uoy forwrd dis 2 10 ppl den ur 1 tru luv wil kis du & ull live happyly evr aftr.

if u dnt frwrd it den u wil hve a bd thng ruin ur life.

Well, as scared as I am from the ASCII characters in that email, I don't feel the need to forward it. Why are people actually threatened by a clump of data sent from server to server?

I wish I could actually kill anyone that talked/typed like that. Really. Kill. I wouldn't mind going to jail, it would be worth it.
 
i went away for 2 weeks and got over 100 spam emails in my spam folder. and thats with gmail!!!
and damn do i hate those emails, "you will die if you dont re-send this email" even though it is your local slut that sent the email out.
and like you iignotus, i hate so much that kind of talk. when people text you or speak to you on msn and has every word abreviated to two letters. its like, wtf?????? how am i meant to read that.
i just ignore those people now, its the best way.
 
I'm up to about 150-200 spam emails a day. That's a lot of people offering me [*I AM STUPID SPAMMER*]. How did they know???

And I too hate that kind of speach, it's not a progression of a language, it's just lazy.
 
I don't really get much, and what I do get I find the btyahoo, msn and googlemail spamfilters perfect.
 
I get a lot of spam email too, but what I found really funny is that people would go on my guestbook on my website and spam me there too! So then i have to do all of these steps just to delete it! man it was so annoying. Now, I have it where I have to approve guestbook submissions.

Yup.. in my Gmail account, my spam folder currently has: 89 badly worded [*I AM STUPID SPAMMER*] emails...

And as an experiment I did this one day to my hotmail account.

Haha, that's great.

I used to file away all the good spam, but I've been bouncing them recently and I haven't got much at all any more.

The best ones were "Penis Launcher", "Oh, you do it very fast...", "up! no down" and "Horny pills - low price".

I also had a nice one explaining that President Clinton used [*I AM STUPID SPAMMER*].

I get the joy's of going through emails that have been detected as spam, to make sure nothing legitimate has been incorrectly detected by our heuristic scanners. Luckily alot of spam is caught, and deleted for us by Spamcop. If an email doesn't happen to be caught by this spam filter, but by our heuristoc scanner I report it to Spamcop.

To say that I only have to do this for 2 domains isn't that bad, as I only have to filter through about 30 emails a day.

I just have to wonder what purpose some of the spam serves, as it doesn't actually give any contact details for the spammer, in the event I am interested in their product. eg:
