Default Question about strange e-mail.

If this is not the correct forum, I appologize.

I wanted to ask if anyone can tell me if they know what this means. I recieve a tremendous amount of spam, and have a pretty good filter. However, I do inspect the items which are quarantined, and I keep noticing this strange activity.

The following is a message I recieved today:

Admin,&

_95%0ff for

all-viagr(a) ,Ci^alis ,-- L-evitra--.

http://zzm.CNCGDC.info/ES001/?affili...ampaign_id=404

--
burgundian consul murmur compromise inattentive titrate parentage hydrangea diverse halide drawn hydrophobic frau equilateral impasse connally antares bela hike liquefy oriole aforesaid austenite forfeit domingo daniel olivetti doorknob diagnostician totalitarian sardonic pike implementation assign diffuse rinse

I am specifically interested in if anyone can tell me why this should be there, or if they have any idea what it is.

Thanks in advance.

Be Safe

Default My guess

Waps,

I believe you're looking at some sort of spammers unsuccessful mailing:-) As I can see email message is based on wide spread template tech, which means the message consist of text and variables.

But at email you can see now the software for some unknown reason could not take data from a database and simply left variables.

You can either preserve in alcohol or throw it away:-)

This, with the list of dictionary words, is a very common kind of spam. I've never understood the reason for the word lists, but you can safely disregard any emails as soon as you see them.

I use Mailwasher to view my emails (it stops viruses and is very quick to pass from one email to another as it doesn't download things. It also bounces spam, which seems to stop some of it reoccurring) and it shows the word list first, so I immediately know it's spam and pass on.

The only important word in all of that was right at the top, Viagra. Why half the world's spammers feel we should need that particular product, I don't know. It must be a reflection of how deficient they are themselves!
