About the Spam Email Name of the Day (SEND)

Part of my IT duties for the company I work for is to filter the email to the catch-all email box mailto:'info@'and search for any real messages among the several hundred daily bits of spam. This is an annoying duty, but luckily isn't that burdensome - we receive only maybe 2 or 3 hundred messages a day and filtering them is only a few minutes work.

And it has an upside. Being interested in encryption and similar areas of programming, I love the random string generators spammers use to get past filters. Particularly the random words cobbled together to create the "FROM:" name. So here, in this category, I share a few of the names that I like the best.

And before anyone asks, yes, it says "Spam Email Name of The Day," but it probably won't be every day, because I have other things to do. It will probably be more like, "Here's today's name, I'll give you another when I see another really good one."

Sadly, this is probably true.
