SEND 02-25

So I still haven't been getting any funny random names in the spam, but I did get two emails from Gene Austin this morning, trying to sell me Rolex watches at a fraction of the price.

Besides the fact that Gene has been dead for over 25 years, I'm trying to figure out why the spam filters on my email server and in Outlook only caught one of the two messages. Everything about them - from the text to addresses to the header information - was identical. The only difference is that one got tagged as spam at the server level and the other didn't get caught until it ended up in Outlook's junk mail folder.

Interesting.

Did it catch the first or the second? If it caught the second, maybe it realized you didn't need two watches.
