Re: Start Working Today
Having (reasnoble) sallarys in job offers doesn't look like spam to me. Origin b...@vim.org looks suspicious - because AFAIK sourceforge does not allow sending emails (at least it was so in the past). Bram also has a different email he's been using in the past. jobdayseu.com does not exist - which clearly shows this is (close to) spam. So does anybody have an idea whether this is a (badly written) real job offer by Bram or whether it is what it looks like: spam? And why is the sending email something @vim.org?

I have already notified Bram and deleted the original post from the Google Groups archive. I don't think there is anything useful that can be said in public. I doubt if spammers bother to read this list, but there would be no value from a public discussion about possible counter measures. John -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

It is SPAM. Just Google for jobdayseu.com and you'll see many similar job offer letters in many different mailing lists. And why is the sending email something @vim.org?

Re: Start Working Today
jamessan just told me that email specs allow to set different from address - I just hoped that that would be part of spam protection of the mailer - rejecting suspicious from contents. Probably such spam protection would not help much because spammers could register again using different email. It does not talk about the kind of employee they are looking for (coder, artist, ..) So sorry for the noise. I think we can close the thread unless somebody has great ideas how to prevent such mails in the future. Marc Weber -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

I had better warn any naive readers: Never believe anything you read on the Internet, including emails that appear to come from Bram. Spam can be spam (it is genuinely promoting something). Spam can be meaningless (someone is just trying a demo). Spam can be phishing (to get suckers to take the bait in the spam and perform some action based on its content). Spam can be MALWARE. It might contain a link which, if clicked, would exploit vulnerabilities in your browser, and install a virus on your computer. Spam can be subtle. It might not contain a link, but might provide sufficient information so that you put something like example.com into the address bar of your browser, and that is the site which delivers the malware. No doubt there are lots of other things bad things that spammers can dream up as well. John -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist. Do not top-post!

Re: Start Working Today
Too bad too - I'm looking at leaving my job and was going h. :-) But it looked too good to be true (it showed up in my junk folder so I had to look on the mailing list folder to see if anyone else got this). Oh well - back to looking. :-) On 3/26/2012 6:30 PM, Marc Weber wrote: Having (reasnoble) sallarys in job offers doesn't look like spam to me.
