Spammers discover Dada poetry

My good friend, Furlough S. Megabytes, just sent me a wonderfully bizarre poetry with Subject: chlorates aweless bescrape chamois. This was quickly followed by my old mate Grudging T. Creamiest with Subject: demolisher clypeaster bogyland brackened. Wow!

I'm impressed because not only is this a brilliant piece of surreal poetry, but it also managed to make it past my spam filters. The first in some time! In fact, Spam Assassin only gave them 1.7.

This, I suspect, was because the big cluster of extra bonus Dada poetry at the end of the message threw off the Bayesian filters, and this spammer carefully tested the message with SA to ensure it didn't trip up any of the other rules.

Amused me, anyway...
