13:31 - Self-solving problem?
|
(top)  |
So it's become well-known that Bayesian anti-spam filters like Outlook and Apple Mail and others use are having pretty good success, as indicated by the fact that so much spam these days is engineered to try to circumvent them.
But... this circumvention seems to me as though it's bound eventually to be fatal to the spam's original purpose, which is to try to fool the recipient into buying something.
Cialiys is knowwn as a Super ViagrYa or Weekend Viagrua because its eetcffs start snooer and last much lenogr.
I don't know what percentage of Internet users would have been likely to follow up on a message like this, if it had been spelled correctly. But wouldn't that percentage be pretty severely lowered, losing a significant percentage even of the people who would have responded to a genuine-looking offer for Cialis in their inbox, if the recipients can't even read the message?
It'd be interesting to see some stats on this matter.
