Strange spam

[kingandy]

I'm getting a lot of weird spam today. It's like somebody has finally flipped and completely lost sight of why they're trying to dodge spam filters in the first place. The mails contain no attachments, no links, arrive as plain text^* and mention no products, emails or any other coherent content save a brief passage of randomly generated prose.

you....
which they flew, their wingtips moving a precise and constant inch from
because you can't press them together, and no one's been able to pull them
that? What does it feel like? How far can you go?"

* Admittedly this may have something to do with stsquad's webmail client being clever and stripping out special characters, or something. It does usually offer the option of seeing the HTML or otherwise dodgy version, though, even if it's picked it up as spam.

I manage the anti-spam filter at work. I've had to add the words 'bilbo' 'gandalf' 'thorin' 'dragon' and 'hobbit' to the block list after a spate of spams using random extracts from The Hobbit.
