Tempusdetrimentomancy

Both of my primary email addresses–the work one and the IEEE one that all my friends should be using–have spam filters that run on the server side.

Both of those accounts, and some other less important ones, feed into my client-side mail store, on which I run a Bayesian spam filter.

Very occasionally the server-side filter on my work address will get block a valid email. Typically it does this in only two situations: because the message includes ‘cuss words’, which my work server considers inappropriate–Hi Gwenda— or because the sender is using an AOL account, which the work server considers a sure sign of spammitude–Hi Adam. Both of these things are not issues with my IEEE address.

Aside from that little quirk of my work email, my spam catching system is perfect. I never get spam in my Inbox, and I never miss real messages.

Today I went looking through my spam bin (I always have the software sort the mail out instead of just deleting it just in case there ever is a false positive) and composed this little stream-of-consciousness mess from a line out of each of the first 25 messages. I feel like there should be some sort of -mancy that could be used to divine the future by examining the entrails of spam messages. Kind of an advanced necrobibliomancy. Maybe spam messages in the email account of a dead man. See if you can find any answers in this anyway…
