Re: [OM] OT. Spam

[Chuck Norcutt]

I've also been receiving more spam than previously for the last couple 
of months.  Most of it seems very amateur and/or clearly from non-native 
English speakers.  Spam generating software is available for sale and I 
suspect that's where the amateur looking stuff is coming from.  I don't 
think the operating systems or email systems we run have any part in 
what happens on the wider net.
