You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:
Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!
Fucking why doesn’t this compilation start I can’t find my mistake for hours?!
Where does this module come from?! What do you mean “root kit”? Learning was fun!
It all was fun! :)
It’s the server doing the meddling, don’t forget that! Email servers have two things to base an analysis off of: the trustworthyness of the senders header data and the content.
Header analysis will quickly kill messages from the fake servers but only after a certain amount of spam is identified - the computer doesn’t “read” the alphabet, it just sees valid encoded symbols. It’s the humans job to find the traffic lights, so to say.
And content analysis is a cold war of attrition: building better filters leads to better tricks leads to better filters, etc.
The only way I have found to stay spam free is customizing my address for each potential sender (i.e. scipilemmy@mydomain.net).that was a lot of work to set up though…
