the spam outgoing from your e-mail account because they can't read the

have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server anyway, because you
couldn't secure your own system even if you tried since that would cut
into Microsoft's profits. We warn you about some attacks on your e-mail

I'd have thought Hastur.mp3 would have been more appropriate,
though rather a lot of work for the entity concerned.
And don't get me started on ZVZRFjrrcre and it's "notify sender" feature.
Or, for that matter, on the idiot who sent a 1.1MB attatchment to
LDAP (class=person) and all the lusers who promptly hit "reply to all".
((class=person) generates 18,157 emails - an 18 Gig shitstorm. Whoohoo!)
Or the "1st line support" who, when you raise a ticket about the
ZVZRFjrrcre misfeature, ask you to run the virus scanner and then
close the ticket.
Gah!

My parser must be broken, it got "That's a pretty odd fscking name for a

Well, since $LUSER already gave his credit card info to a phisher, what
makes you think OBSDinstaller.zip doesn't order the CD for you?

A large padded envelope arrived in the post the other day.
The return address was Austraila Posst, so I thought it was
okay to open it. Inside it was a letter, and another padded
envelope. The letter read:
Dear Mail Recipient,
Your mail delivry will be cut off in three days for suspected
postal abuse unless you complie with the directions in the
envelope labelled "Do this stuff next". We appreciate that you
are a busy person, and that you probly arent risponsable for
the suspected abuse, but in order to keep the postal system
working proply we need you do take some actions to help
yourself. Please open the second envelope and do what the
message inside say.
Regards,
Austraila Post Customer Service Department
...so, of course, I opened the second envelope.
Inside it were a sheet of paper with directions,
and a claw hammer.
The directions read:
1. Go to the post office and buy 40 large padded envelopes.
2. Go to the hardware store of your choice and buy 20 claw hammers.
3. Make 20 copies of these instructions, and 20 copies of the
letter that was inside the first envelope.
4. In 20 of the padded envelopes, place a claw hammer and a
copy of these instructions. Clearly label these envelopes
"Do this stuff next", and seal them.
5. Place the sealed envelopes inside the other 20 envelopes,
along with a copy of the covering letter, and seal them.
There is no direction 6.
7. Open the phone book, and choose 20 addresses at random.
Use these to address the sealed outer envelopes.
8. Go to the post office, and post the envelopes.
9. When you get home, hit yourself in the head with the
claw hammer until you pass out.
10. When you wake up, hit yourself in the head with the
claw hammer until you pass out.
11. Repeat from step 1 tomorrow.
...I've just woken up after step 9. This is the fourth
day I've been out to the post office and the hardware
store. Do you think it would be okay if I went to the
hardware store before the post office? Can I stock up
on enough hammers and copies of the letters and envelopes
for a month at a time so I only need to go one place each
day? The hammering is really starting to take its toll.
Also, I've just received a new letter, similar to the
first one except the inner envelope was sealed with
a combination padlock. Does this replace the first
mailing, or should I just do both? I don't think I
can afford 40 hammers a day, especially if I now have
to buy padlocks too.

I wrote this thinking it was kind of cute, but I couldn't figure out
the appropriate incantations to get slashcode to not fsck it up.
Someone was saying that there wouldn't be any viruses if we didn't
have attachments and GUI mailers. I think the problem is people. As
usual.
(Yes, I know it won't work as intended on Solaris. And there are lots
of ways it could be "improved". I don't care. I spent more time
remembering how uuencode works.)

Heh. I've only received one of those so far. And that when we
discoever virus writers are lusers:
Hey! s/.*\.\([^.]*\.[^.]*\)$/\1/ works for blah.com addresses, and
there are no addresses other than blah.com, so this will work
frawressry!

I should hope so, I put it there! Manually as it turns out.
