[Leica] OT: Odd Spam Question

[rangefinder at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

There is actually a strong wave of such spam going. Most are useless as they 
do not communicate anything which could be of interest for the spammer. I 
believe it is a strategy to fight the spam filter technologies. They want 
the people getting nuts about using their spam filters which can not tell 
the difference between spam and not spam anymore, and will blame the spam 
filter industry.

Spam has become the #1 problem of the internet.
