    [nonsense spam snipped]
    What are the point of gnats, other than to annoy?

    Spammers aren't necessarily operating on a rational basis.

    many people have been using bayesian networks to automatically classify
    spam. these classifiers have no grammatical rules and are unable to
    determine whether or not something is nonsense, they just work on
    word frequency.

    the idea is that people hit the "mark as junk mail" in their mail client
    when they see this nonsense. this will just add a whole load of perfectly
    good, non-spam words into the classifier, which will subsequently not be
    able to classify its input as effectively. in the long term, the hope is
    that the spam classifier becomes ineffective, allowing more spam through
    or causing the owner to become annoyed with it and get rid of it.

  4. Broken spam software written by cheap Asian labour innit, I see
    shitloads of it on my f9 domain. Report it to spamcop or wherever so
    the botwot sent it can be closed down and move on.
