You might be onto something stu, I searched the net for translators and after many attempts to work out this garbage I happened to stumble upon an alien life form translator which indeed has given me some interesting results !

This is the translation:

Quote:
Dear Zardon,

I am pleased to meet you, my name is Zoodiod Flicklebottom from the fourth sun of Pluto. Due to a considerable error on behalf of the Fridioushion Mining Community at the 2nd ring of Saturn I have came into possession of $100,000,000 US dollars and need someone to take care of it for me for the duration of my next skin shedding transition when the outer sun surrounding my planet comes into alignment with the solar traces being cast. For your troubles I will give you 50% of this money and will also show you the secret of everlasting terran life and will make sure your stomach muscles remain forever tight !

I have no alternative but to contact you with the urgent plea that you will indeed handle this extremely serious matter for me. After all if this currency falls into the hands of the Maul Alien Terrorist group our planet could be blown into tiny shards of ice dust.

If you could please send me your bank details to zoodiodflicklebottom@hotmail.com I will endeavour to wire you this money via spaceex as soon as possible.

May the spacegods bless you in my hour of need and a long prosperous life will befall you !

Yours sincerely,
Zoodiod Flicklebottom
interplanetary money laundry society

Yea that is pretty much the ratio I have with my e-mail at home. Just I don't get the money ones. I get all the places trying to sell Vicoden and VIagra illegally...... They just installed some new Mail Sweepers here at work ( Trend Micro Servers) and that has taken our corporate spam problem WAY down. The average user was getting 40-60 spams a day. Now the average users sees 1-2 a day.... I keep mailwasher pretty busy at home..hehehe

Were there any links in with all the junk?
If there were, then ther's a simple 3 word answer to the bizarre junk -


BAYESIAN SPAM FILTERING!

Since this works by dividing the words in messages into "probable spam", and "probable non-spam" (and presumably "no indication" as well), they load a message up with random english words to vex the spam filter.

A similar tactic is used by those who disrupt newsgroups, generating random semi-plausible headers, and they get more expert every time - eg. one used random hex digits, so I threw in a filter against it.

The annoying thing with some newsgroup disruptions - you can see INSTANTLY by eye that the junk is different, but can't figure out how to tell the newsreader.
