Spammer gall

Too much time on hands.

[D_Blackwell]

I've got a Movable Type blog on one of our products sites. Not a lot of action with comments, but each entry stands alone fine even without and people are reading.

Not a lot of spam activity, and we just click report and delete when there is. Mostly meds, and mostly Russian when it does occur. (Most of my email spam is Russian now. Must be the hot thing.)

Anyway, this guy spams us with a link for some med and it's deleted like a minute later. He comes back a couple of days later - already knowing that he's reported and deleted!

to: Admin - If You want to delete your site from my spam list, please
sent url of your domain to my emai: stop.web.example.com
And I will remove your site from my base within 24 hours

PS. As the previous address of an e-mail has been removed also all letters on it have been lost I is compelled to make this dispatch once again.
PS2. To send url your site on an e-mail stop.web.example.com is a unique way to avoid a spam from me. To write abuses to the various "stop spam" sites - it is useless.
PS3. Your addresses of an e-mail are not necessary to me, you can create an e-mail through free service and send me yours url through this e-mail
PS4. sorry for my bad English

LOL

We've also gotten several recently that don't post a pitch and link at all. The entire spam post is about how not be spammed by them:)) All Russian in origin going by ip and provided email.

How about you post that he leaves you his home address in his next post so that you can personally go round and sort it out. :-) I'm sure there will be a few volunteers too.

I guess they deserve some credit for adapting to an ever changing market. ;)

After getting a few of those, I just added "site from my spam list" to my SPAM filter. Fixed. Until they change the wording slightly.

I just signed up with Spam Assassin provided by my host and they tag all suspected spam with ***SPAM***. I've never seen one tagged that way that wasn't spam.

On the flip side, I've seen plenty of spam that wasn't tagged by SA. Right after the McColo shutdown I started getting tons of spam, all processed by SA and my mail server's spam tools. Now it's starting to return to previous levels where, out of thousands of spams a day, only one or two are making it to my InBox.
