December 17, 2007 - Mark

Here at Heluna, we stop quite a few spam messages from getting to their intended destination.  To get into the holiday spirit, then, we present to you: the 12 days of spam-mas, a list of keywords and the number of times those keywords have shown up in the sender e-mail address over the past 30 days:

“partridge”: 27 times

“dove”: 293 times

“french”: 492 times

“calling”: 92 times

“gold”: 15156 times

“geese”: 26 times

“swans”: 178 times

“maids”: 26 times

“ladies”: 43028 times

“lords”: 32 times

“piper”: 170 times

“drummer”: 15 times

We won’t even get into the number of times that “true love” shows up in the subject line of rejected spam messages.  Happy holidays, everyone!
