Hello,I have been getting these too. Just thought they were some weird attempt at spam, possible trying to test what makes it past spam filters. I have seen some that had a graphic that opened that had the real message and naturally they can check delivery with an invisible graphic if the message has any html in it or is an html email message. I did not check that on the emails such as you describe that I have received. By the way I don't run any kind of spam filters so should get to see everything that is sent to me.
Will examine any future ones more closely. Regards, Nancy Kramer At 01:48 PM 12/30/2003 +0100, vogt () hansenet com wrote:
Hi everyone - For days now, I've been receiving weird messages, with a few lines of apparently random, garbage text, like this: highest bailiff nomad father advise heir oxygen honorarium allegro reveal wronskian indentation coachmen deficient tribute arcturus mitigate bypath Anyone got a clue what this is? There are no attachments to these mails, but they keep coming in at a rate of about 1-2 per day, from different sources, nobody I know really. Anyone else receiving this stuff? Makes neither sense as spam nor as a virus - no attachment, no product being advertised. The only explanation I can come up with is hoping for people to reply ("what?") and thus verifying addresses, but that doesn't fit to the pattern of different senders.
