I've discovered why so many of my emails
go unanswered: my address has the word
"bank" in it. I've been using
SpamBayes
for a while now and I've
been happy with the results so
far. It doesn't categorize messages I've sent to myself as
Spam, so I don't know what to do about this. If
you were expecting email from me and haven't recieved it,
check your spam folder.
I had a dream about Spammers breaking my mail filter the other night.
(Yes, I know I should be thinking about other stuff in my dreams. I'll
talk to my writers.)
The spammer was reading my blog's RSS feed and
from that text, assembled a body of random text that would
obviously be of interest to me (albeit from a probabilistic
standpoint- the text was mostly nonsense). I have no idea if this is actually being done already or if it would be practical or effective.
If anyone starts to actually do this with Spam and RSS,
I have a name for it: the Probabilistic Missile.
