Real-time Spam Map
iggychaos writes "Mailinator, the free, temporary email service gets a lot of spam (over
a million emails a day). And with another cool application of Google
maps, the site now shows a Spam Map
indicating what sites are spamming mailinator in (nearly) real time. It's
oddly addictive to poke around and see where the spam is actually coming
from."
We're too busy spamming mailinator.com.au e-mail addresses.
First Spam!
although that isn't because we're more moral then the rest of the world. It's because we've yet to discover electricity.
That the majority places shown also have the highest STD rates on the country?

That's verbal tech. You're downstat. Report for auditing.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
You see the spam coming out of turkey? "Enough with the Thanksgiving Jokes already" or something like that-- pretty funny

This is your chance to put your village on the map.
If you mod this up, your slashdot background will turn into a beautiful sunset!
I think someone's having a bit of fun with the map. I got a spot smack in the middle of Greenland, with this message:
Subject: Um, the brochure said it was GREEN here
IP address: 1.2.3.4
DNS Name: greenland.aintgreen.com
Location: Greenland
Emails: lots

I personally think anyone that's unable to cope with seeing certain combinations of the latin alphabet probably aren't mature enough to be surfing the web, myself.
:)
Yeah, fuck them.
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
According to that map, my country has disappeared off the face of the earth.

Awwwww... da liddle bitty commander-waander doesn' like da baby-waby talky-walky.
No, it's a map of NT 4.0 and Windows 98 sys...
Never mind.

Kermit agrees. Miss Piggy unavailable for comment.

It needs a mod for a graphic of the source IP being destroyed (nuke?) when it recognizes it as spam and adds to the > null list. That would be awesome ;)
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one the bus load of girls just went down.
On the other hand, it's perhaps the first spam message that I'm disappointed that I can't read the body of the message.
Help! I'm drowning !!
