I used to get a lot of spams promoting a chain-letter pyramid scheme, where the recipient is supposed to send $5 to each of 5 snail-mail addresses to order 5 reports on how to send bulk email legally and how to make big money on the Internet. Now that type of spam is infrequent. Maybe they ran out of suckers? I get a lot of Korean spams, where in most cases, I don't know what they're selling, but some of those appear to be sexy. I get some Chinese spams that I can't read, and some of those come through [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nigeria spam has been increasing in frequency, and some of those also come through [EMAIL PROTECTED]: not only generals, but oil businessmen too. I get a fair amount of porno spams, even some supposedly involving mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, brothers and sisters, etc. What's really annoying is getting the same spam multiple times, especially when it's a big spam, like that 148 KB get-rich-quick spam with a .doc attachment, presumably MS-Word. I didn't even bother to decode the base64. Steve Ackman, you mentioned interbusiness.it as a source of spam. From the spam I get, I don't remember that domain. Not to say I never received anything from that domain, but it is certainly not a substantial source of the spam that comes my way.
