Ministry of Communications implements anti-spam measures
October 20, 2010 3 Comments
The Ministry of Communications, in one of its last acts, has implemented an anti-spam measure in A1′s new email system, designed to “get one back”, according to Minister for Communications, Sir. Philip Fish. The strategy, which involves redirecting all spam to a specific email address, “may not necessarily do anything directly, but makes us feel a lot better”, according to Sir. Fish. “In a nutshell, any email received at this email address will receive an auto-reply email containing 10,000 words of “NGGG”, as well as an email signature that would drain the bandwidth of any decent web-user – it contains hundreds of copies of a 9000 x 9800px picture, which alone is around 4MB in size”.
It is understood that the reforms are a few days away from being announced.
Sweet.
Erm, and what if the spam filter accidentally classifies an email which wasn’t spam as spam?
It’s only to specific spam from a blacklist.
