I never thought about replying to spam, till now

But this is tempting.
From Craig <vagno@unifap.br>
Re: Is it okay to discuss possible business in this email? Do let me know ASAP so i can provide you with the details.

Before I even saw the address, my gut response was:
"NO! this email is strictly for discussing ponies, pink ponies!"
Then I saw the fapping and novag and the obvious .br brony extension and I knew my instincts were spot on.

I really don't understand how SPAM now a days gets through with all the blacklists being used. Who do you use for E-mail?

The domain is from a dedicated server.

Edit, tried doing a black list check and unifap.br wasn't working.

If you use Thunderbird turn on Spamassassin in the Junk settings.

Since I'm talking about Thunderbird you may be interested in the addon Dr. Web Anti Virus Link Checker. You can check links for malware.

They are most likely just after legit e-mail addresses to sell on a list.

If it looks fairly targeted I sometimes reply. It's fun to string along nigerian scammers as they think you're falling for it. Those emails are actually real people and not bots. Most spam is just bots so replying won't do much except for confirming your email is valid.

Strung along a nigerian scammer for a while once, then I said to have it rolled up in toonies within 72 hours as I will send a chopper to come pick it up. He's probably still rolling that money.

Looks like this is the correct address. http://whois.domaintools.com/200.129.167.68

lol unifap.

Actually Zimbra is like an exchange mail system, wonder if it's a server that got hacked. I can't see why spammers would go through the trouble of setting that up, they'd probably just setup sendmail or postfix or something.

the reply to linkage was a 163.com I think. I loled and did delete it. It was in gmail's spam folder.

Unifap. Wonder if that is trademarked yet. Hmmm.
