Is using SpamCop good enough? I'm not sure I want to become an expert
on tracing headers. Is there another option for those with a limited
amount of physical and mental energy?
I also have another question. On many pieces of spam I notice that
there is a string that looks like it may be an identifier of some
kind. It's usually found in the Subject line or at the very end
of the message text but I have also seen it embedded in links. Are
these tags that point to a particular "batch" of email? Or is there
spam software that's smart enough to put in identifiers in each
message that can be linked to a specific email address? It looks
something like those distribution codes they use on catalogs to
track customers.
For example, here's an extract from a recent piece of spam:
For a limited time, you can pre-register your unique .NAME domain
for only $10 (plus applicable registry fees) at:
http://www.namesforeveryone.com
6462LHkR8-149DVGe2040zRWU7-627eazl31
See the number at the end? Why insert that unless it is a tracking
number of some kind?
