[TriLUG] OT: non-sense spam

[Jim Ray]

I've seen a virus spew out bits and pieces of office documents.  It is
really cool.  Gotta love winders.

Subject: [TriLUG] OT: non-sense spam


Anybody getting non-sense spam?

Example:

Subject: bathroom exogenous frilly betwixt

Body:
enzyme introject combustible cartoon considerate octagonal buildup crinkle 
headwater loblolly 
elect antiquity dumpty fink lobular hotrod entry grassy hubby 
mcgovern caramel ephemerides limitation octant coronet finland interject 
ontology piper

The To: list is a sequence of mindspring.com addresses whose user portion 
have the prefix mjm in common. For example: mjm-58, mjm-st, mjm5

Is this encryption of some sort?  Sending out an encrypted message broken 
into several emails and sending copies out like spam, then it becomes harder

to know who the intended target is and what the order of the messages is 
supposed to be.  Sending like a spammer also makes it harder to know who the

sender is.

How does one block this kind of spam?  Searching for lack of syntactical 
connecting words like "the", "and", "of", etc.?

Make clockwise circles with your right foot. 
Now use your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.
