Today’s spam brought to you by the word Rolex.

I’m fascinated by e-mail spam. I run my own mail server through my G4 at home, and have several layers of spam filtering installed on the system. Anyone who follows spam closely will recognize different styles or tell-tale keywords that will indicate a message is spam. A lot of these can be weeded out even before they make it into bayesian filtering systems such as Spamassassin.

5 new spam messages showed up in my Spam box this morning; all of them advertising Rolex watches. It looks like Rolex is the new Vicodin.
