Surreal email
This has got to be one of the most surreal emails I’ve gotten in a long time:
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 08:33:40 +0200 From: [recipient redacted] To: mental@rydia.net Subject: hi your name is wrong
It turned out to be spam with a forged return address of someone I knew, but no advertisement, no payload, no exploit. Why? Validating deliverable addresses for later spamming, I guess…
At least my inner surrealist got a kick out of it.
