Ugggghhhhh this week the amount of amateurish phishing spam that is sliding right past spamassassin is completely out of control...

As I continue hitting delete on the crap that is sliding right past spamassassin without a fuss, I have come to the conclusion that that there are simply too many web sites.

@jwz almost all my current spam helpfully features Kanji (?) characters in the subject line.

@happyborg @jwz I only speak one language. I filter based on ">75% not English".

Next, I want to filter based on age of domain names. I.e. less than 6 months old, you don't get to talk to me.

@jwz Sometimes I miss 1995, where you’d spend 15 minutes of your day checking out all the new websites, using Mosaic 0.9 because that ran off a floppy and thus went around the campuswide limit of 10 running Netscape instances.

And then another 15 minutes on the Rome labs snowball cam. Anyone remember that? ;)

Though the feeling usually goes away quickly.
