Pathetic "Out of Office" Spam Attempts

Published on 13th July 201D by Brett M. Christensen

Every time I send out the notification emails for the Hoax-Slayer Newsletter, I get several hundred automatic "Out of Office" replies. This is normal for email newsletter publishers and no big deal.

But it amuses me that a few pathetic spammers sign up to newsletters just so they can set up auto replies advertising their useless products. Technically, I suppose, it is NOT spamming because they are actually replying to an email that has been sent to them. But, nevertheless, I feel no remorse or guilt whatsoever in labelling these losers as spammers.

Sorry guys, but you won't get any sales by using this tactic with me :)
