Sysadmin Field Notes

Blog spam.

September 15, 2004

I find the interaction between my mail filter and blog spam interesting. See, I get mailed about all the comments here so I can see the spam and click on the mt-blacklist link and blow away the jerkoffs.

Now, the interaction comes in that usually the post is talking about o n l i n e p o k e r or herbal v1agra. So depending on the post, my email filter might flag it as spam. bogofilter does an awesome job though, so usually I see emails about posts. Every once in a while though one slips through, so usually after a big round of spam I check the most recent comments here as well and remove anything lame.

Spammers. What a bunch of turds. (Can I get that on a bumper sticker?)
