    Seriously?

    First answer i've heard that sort of makes sense.

    Why don't they have spell check in Nigeria?

    Seriously. It's easy to set a filter to block out e-mails containing "Viagra". It's harder to block a r****ded variation of the spelling. Luckily for me, GMail does a really good job of blocking spam.

    That's right. All the misspellings are to elude the filters that are put in place by spam checkers. They are looking for certain words that are associated with spam so they can delete them. if they misspell them then they can get through at times.

    That's why some of these emails have so much junk writing about something random then a link for viagra. It makes the spam filter think it's just an email and since the majority of the text is normal writing it lets it get through.

    Yahoo's filter sucks and I won't even bother with hotmail.

    The thing that annoys me with yahoo is that they have a cap on blocked emails (for free members) and they don't automatically delete emails with future dates like 2037 on the header.
