It’s a great program, Jules. I’ve used it for almost 4 years by now.

Wow i had no idea spammers were using such methods to get their mails through the spam filters. I have never heard of Mailwasher before and I’m going to read more about it.

My wife is a good example of this, Mirjam. She’s not all that computer literate, and these folks have figured out the types of things she’s interested in, so a lot of email that comes her way is geared towards her. And, unfortunately for me, she just can’t stop herself.

hey Mitch…
I just couldn´t stop thinking, while reading this post, why on earth people would even open spam mail in the first place … Curiosity killed the cat … or in this case, curiosity installs malware…

I didn’t know that, Bob. Did Craigslist figure it out?

Hi Shirley. I think what they do is pop a long passage of something into a program, and it populates these emails with all this garbage. If I thought someone was sitting there doing it for every individual email it would make little sense. I hate these people with a passion, and yet, you have to admit there are some fairly smart crooks out there.

People used to do this as a way to post to craigslist as well. They write one ad, and post to multiple cities by grabbing large blocks of unique text from a site like wikipedia and setting the font color to white. Then, it looks like a pretty unique ad being posted to multiple cities and categories, even though it’s the same one.

Thanks, Mitch, for this alert.

Can you imagine having so much time on your hands, sending messages with garbage attached?

Of course, I understand that Internet good also comes with Internet bad. It just makes no sense.
