Completely random spam. No advertising and no links!

Hello

For around the last two weeks now I have been receiving lots of completely random spam. They are coming in thick and fast now and blocking up my Inbox. :mad:

As the content is random verse I can't see how any spam trap would filter them? Indeed my SpamAssasin filter isn't catching them. The sender address and title of the e-mails are always different so I have no idea how to block them. Any ideas?

Here is a little preview so you can see what I mean:

Muller Holk (of the alive). I might have both times to the Empire! Asked Mallow dryly. However,
this moment, of the planet, Anacreon has stood apart; and continued Aporat and returned to assume
that you don't you suppose he read with me anticipate; invaded even if the moment, he was all
right, here: as at the gloom of the hands and forced to the minor officials of fuzzy, glowing as
though still civilized a state that, it in strict which you hold you are the other's balled
spasmodically at all know what you're what he does the Fall entirely however, this in the Galaxy I
want to strike you and human being born you like that successfully; for a signal as a foreigner you
none of the old bird bright; and profits.

Thanks.

Yep, I was plagued by this a few months ago. I used to get dozens every day but now I only get two or three.

When I had to go on dial up on the other computer (long story), I was targeted heavily and each time I logged into OE there were 585 emails coming in. Trouble is I had to read each title because some of my work emails are labelled *spam* by my system so I had to be careful not to delete them.

It's very annoying but not much that can be done as the spammers are using every trick to excape detection. :rolleyes:

Hello

Thanks for your reply. I just can't understand whats in it for this particular spammer.

The e-mails have no links in them to other web pages. There are no products mentioned and nothing being advertised. Its not religious or advice either. Its just plain garbage!

Check if your ISP(s)/email provider(s) has its own spam filter. One of my ISPs (PlusNet) provides an excellent spam filter - it automatically moves anything dodgy to a spam folder, & it's almost perfect (takes care of the gibberish emails too).

To avoid my OE inbox getting inundated, I use Mailwasher to easily delete spam emails (belonging to the other ISPs/email providers) off the servers before downloading into OE. The last free multiple accounts MW version: 2beta28 - the latest free version supports one email account only. G

P.S. If you use MW do not use its 'bounce' feature as it's absolutely useless for a number of reasons, & unnecessarily creates more spam/email traffic.

I think some spammers do this thing just for the hell of it. Childishness is everywhere, I'm afraid.
