I am getting mails with just a single word like "gushes" "using" etc
what is this about now ?
Read the archives for more details, however the general consensus is
it's due to:
1) a mass run of short-emails to a broader-range of randomly generated
addresses in an attempt to
disover new ones. (aka Rumpelstiltskin attack)
- OR -
2) some spammer screwed up their template when they last pushed one out
to their botnet, and as a result the bots are generating emails with no
useful payload.
Both are quite plausible.
Is there a good test for these?
The first days run seemed to be related to the german stock market, but
todays run so far I can not seem to find a common thread as the subject
is getting the same one word as the body
