what i can't figure out is why the URLs in the few spams that do manage to get thru to me - about 2 or 3 a week evade my ISP's barricades - are not valid. what's the point of going through all the trouble of sending a zillion cleverly (de)composed messages that, in the end, cannot bring you any return traffic?
this is an example of what I mean: http://vm.k.Rx-transmute.com "No such website," I get when trying that address, which the spam presented as an outlet for prescription drugs. Now, it could be that the site did exist for a moment and that it has since been taken down, by its owner or the authorities. I am trying it several days since the original spam arrived. Still, what a bother the whole thing is. I heard some "expert" this week state that 70% of all email traffic is now malevolent: either spam or virus/worm-laden. -- John W. Verity So.
