The dumbest #spam: a scammer created an open mailing list that probably has hundreds or thousands of people on it and sent a bunch of scammy Apple emails to it. Now there's a flurry of replies that you'd expect of chain letters of old and no intelligence to be found.

I'm up to about 50 emails about this now, I've made an rspam rule to denylist the rcpt to:. I'm still surprised this doesn't happen more often. #homelab

Wenn irgendwelche Firmen (z.B. XING) meinen, ihre #Werbung in der Kategorie "wichtige Mails zu Ihrem Konto" unterbringen zu müssen, melde ich die ab sofort als #Spam an #Google. Fertig!

Alguns usuaris de Youtube en smartTVs es troben amb anuncis de 90 segons, molt per sobre dels 30 màxim que hi havia abans.

Estem molt bombardejats de anuncis brossa.

Die opluchting dat ze (de hackers van Odido) je toch niet vergeten zijn als je al een week niks meer van ze gehoord hebt en je krijgt opnieuw toch weer een mailtje. 😎

Widerlich, was so von @mastodon.cloud so an Spam von russischen Adressen kommt.

Ich bin kurz davor die ganze Instanz zu blocken.

Do you get those "Please review the product you bought" emails?

I'm fantasizing writing an agent that, upon receiving that email, autoclicks on the link and leaves a negative review.

Stop sending those emails!

Both Back & Nakamoto are passionate about #spam. Bitcoin's proof-of-work (a term whose hyphens are allegedly his coinage) is based on Hashcash, a puzzle your system can solve and add to an email header. It's hard to compute yet trivial to verify, meaning it is more expensive for bulk senders.
