Just did a little testing of mine on my two non-spam-filtered mailboxes, that I filter locally instead:
- 23% are below a kilobyte in content size (not including headers).
- 49% doesn't contain any English words from the about 48 000 words large dictionary file I searched.
- 81% doesn't contain any url whatsoever.
- Only 43% of the urls found actually points to anything.
- A surprisingly low portion uses multipart or HTML emails, just 52%.
(Mails containing attachments were not included in the breakdown.)
Now tell me how that fits together with the notion that these spammers must have a profit from some stupid people that actually buy their colour printer cartridges, septic tanks, insurances, Viagra, Valium, Xanax, Prozac or Ambien...
