I get a LOT of spam and it’s sometimes interesting to see how the trends of what finds it’s way into my inbox. Of course there is always a host of sex related spam and the notorious viagra and breast enlargement emails.

One that I’m not sure that works or not is the hundreds of notes asking to buy certain penny stocks. I’m guessing that if you buy a stock for a penny, then convince enough others to buy the same stock and it goes to two pennies then you could sell out for 100% profit. It’s highly illegal of course and there was famous case in Australia where Rene Rivkin was accused of moving the market for his own gain by using his investment newsletter.

The latest ones have been super foods ACAI and Pomegranate which have been getting a lot of press for being super foods full of anti-oxidants.

The one that has caught my eye of late is pushing the power shamanism. From wikipedia “Shamanism is a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world. A practitioner of shamanism is known as a shaman. There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world; following are beliefs shared by all forms of shamanism”

The Spam is pushing a book on how to get what or who you want with the power of Shamanism. While I’m a fan of American Indian history and practices an my lovely wife has Indian blood, I don’t think that a book will be able to accomplish what it’s spamming ( Funny that ).

I’ll be interested to see what the next trend in spam is going to offer. Walking on water? 30 second Abs? Pheromones?

On a tech note any admins got advice on what to add to amavis and spamassasin to help cull the amounts of Spam?

Cheers,
