Spam lives.

It’s become a versatile, adaptive network-scale beast.

Bayesian filtering – the most effective tool I have to stop spam getting through is mostly working, but the Spam Demiurge is feeling it’s way around, in blind-but-rapid evolutionary cycles, to find the gaps. I’m starting to think, once you get beyond the inconvenience, The Blind Spammaker is starting to create beauty*.

I got a spam tonight, for ‘gentlemanly enhancements’ (what else?) with the subject line:

“Subject: canon eigenspace polaris”

I think that there’s going to be a growing convergence between spam subject lines and the names of Culture Ships…
