The latest anti-spamtrap device.
Originally there was no such junk on spam messages, but email servers
started cribbing at the same message going out to numerous destinations.
Enter the strings of random letters at the ends of the messages, but then
the email servers got more intelligence and knew how to filter out all the
adfasuyfasudtaiusdtfiausdfkern and the spam messages containing them.
Then we started getting reasonable-looking "foreign language" words, but
then the email servers got wise to that so the spammists soon found that
their cafohijevo marujonolaseti vikomu didn't get through any more.
So currently we get reasonable-looking English, apparently snipped from
some
real source but totally irrelevant to the spam. We eagerly await the
spamtraps reaching the next level of evolution to combat this.
