Operation "Oinc-In"!

[Xyzzy]

We have set up a test email address to see just how much spam we can get.

mersenneforum@gmail.com

If you see an opt-in email link, or if you find a situation where you think you can "compromise" this email address to enable it to get more spam, please do so.

We think it will be interesting to see the results!

no matter what kind of spam?

[kladner]

I can contribute some spam I get. They are mostly the usual "enlarge your manhood", cheap Viagra, Canadian pharmacy, and various money and job scams.

Is this what you are looking for, Mike?

For some reason the spam I'm getting these days is "married women in your vicinity want to have an affair"; "reply to this mail to receive money-off vouchers at J. Random Supermarket", ZIP files to tell me about the progress of shipments and largely incomprehensible exhortations in Cyrillic script to view particular YouTube links. The latter is especially amusing, given that I hardly ever click on a YouTube link even when recommended by people with excellent credentials such as davieddy.


I'll see if I can persuade any of them to include you in their recipients.

Now that you mention it, I do get a lot of the "get laid right now" kind of stuff, too. The oft-cited outfit is "F**kbook". The are also quite a few E-card "invitations".

Dear Xyzzy,

This missive is to inform you that I, the undersigned, feel that it is improper for you to forward my email directly into the spam folder artificially bumping the numbers up regardless of how little regard you may have for my communications.

Sincerely,
Chappy

Except that I have no interest in contacting eager young ladies.

I do note that Chappy was referring to a different sort of "hard" ware.

I'm too old and grumpy for either eager or young ladies. Brings on the frumpy old fraus bitte.

huh, huh...huh huh... my work laptop was confiscated by the IT dept a little while back. They found recipes for baked goods and computer hardware review sites...proving that I am lame.

And we are off to a nice start.
