Bizarre Email - Spam?

    I got the following email today:
    Subject=brisbane paucity gigabit naval collision

    dire nag beatify? spree, fox member.
    kent dire caret travail shrink irritate, observation
    bergen nuclei bergen rift nag.

    yosemite hereinabove committing

    wastewater travail travail? hightail, seduction collision.
    stratton imponderable caret caret beatify corollary, scarves
    christ observation cheer actor bergen.

    naval respire banjo

    picky actor activism? dire, jesse corollary.

    beatify gigabit.
    To be quite honest I'm at a loss. It came through the spam filter on my gmail, no images attached that I can see, no stock symbols, no penis enlargment, no debt consolidation.

    Can anyone shed any light on it?

    Spammers make mistakes sometimes. Perhaps this POS forgot to include his spam message before he hit "Send".

    Perhaps his software is rubbish.

    Alternatively, perhaps he's testing his random text generator.

    I wouldn't spend any time trying to figure it out. Dump it and forget about it.

    Regards,

    Liam

    My bet is there's links in it, I get spam that makes no sense all the time.

    Nope no links, just plain text.

    Could be hoping you'll reply so they'll add you to a 'live list'.

    Or they dont get an NDR (Non Delivery Report) and know the message has been delivered....thus a live address.....maybe.

    Yus, looks more like a DHA than spam. The pile of random text is most likely just there to make it look like a legit mail, without containing words that might trigger a spam filter.
