Thread: Spot the spammer

Great article: 50 Signs that You’re a Spammer | Infusionsoft Blog

My favourites from the list are:

1. You begin your emails with, “Dear Friend,” “Dear Customer.”

14. Your email contains more CAPS than a Pepsi bottling plant.

37. You’ve got the latest information diet pills, mortgage offers, debt consolidation and are the expert in making money quick with no obligation.

39. When you go to trade shows, you collect email addresses, not network with industry peers.

So, how do you spot a spammer?

Really interesting article- good amount of work has been done, the ones listed in above comment are my favorite too.

That is a pretty good list of ways in which you can identify a spammer. I wonder if this list is also used by anti spam ware tools for recognizing spam emails.
