ever wondered about the amount of spam thats coming down our lines

[completerookie]

we all know that spam is the bain of our lives , but I have just received this spam (I've cut and pasted it) from someone who clearly nearly knows what he's doing

the code is clearly being generated but in this one, there seems to be a bit of a bug (v8?)

for those non-tech people, the only important bit is %RND - this is short hand for RANDOM

This code is normally hidden inside the emails so you never see it

Its just an interesting insight into the way the volume of spam is being generated.

the ONLY changes I've made is to the poor unfortunate being (the return-Path: <???) that was going to get hammered and the ???'s in the "for <" line - that was going to be ME
