Spam For Your Soul
from the just-for-the...-um...-heaven...-of-it dept
It isn't the first time that spam has been going around that doesn't appear to have a clear purpose in actually selling something, but some spam watchers have noticed an awful lot of religious spam suddenly clogging our mail servers. The anti-spam company who is quoted in the article about it, thinks they're just doing it because they can -- and because religious spam probably doesn't fall under the CAN SPAM laws. However, you have to wonder if it isn't serving some other purpose in trying to either open up a channel for spammers or set up some sort of scam.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
