Funny Spam of the Day

I run my own mail server, behind my own router and firewall in my own home. My filters work perfectly, and I get no spam. Some of the stuff my filters catch is hilarious. For example:

Dear user of the michaelwyres.com mailing service!We are informing you that because of the security upgrade of the mailing service your mailbox (xxxxxx@michaelwyres.com) settings were changed. In order to apply the new set of settings click on the following link [removed] Best regards, michaelwyres.com Technical Support.

Remember of course that I process my own email. I don’t seem to remember doing a “security upgrade”. I also don’t have my own “Technical Support” department.

I don’t live in Poland – the removed link pointed to a .pl domain name – but I must pay more attention to my mailbox settings, in case I do any more security upgrades while I am sleep walking!

I’m still laughing.
