I've done telephoney apps with prerecorded phrases strung together, and it's very hard to get it to sound natural. It tends to sound like the verbal equivilent of a ransom note. Even the phone companies (which have done serious research into this sort of thing, again to replace people) haven't got it quite right.
I wonder how much processing they have to do to "make it fit"?
Did you request any of that email? If not, then it is spam. Possibly Yahoo is detecting the fact that thousands of their mailboxes are getting the same message?
Perhaps the wording was too close to all those spams go something like "Hi this is Veronica, I was thinking about you and really want to see you! www.teenbabes4u.com"? *sigh*
People like Al Ralsky are spammers for hire. They charge by the number of emails that they send out, they don't care how many RC cars their dumb-ass client actually sells in the end. If he can show that for every n emails he sent, it hit m actual mailboxes, all the better.
Oh? Many people set their filters to tag'n'bag (or simply dump) any non plain-ascii email. I treat any email with HTML, base64, or an attachment of any kind as probably spam and potentially dangerous, and inspect it before reading it.
Yeeess... You'd want to check the RFCs carefully to get it right. (Most email bouncing happens at the HELO stage.) You would have to receive the entire email before bouncing it.
Suggestion: A white-list of people who never have to use a key. (Mailing-lists, if nothing else.)
Expect a certain amount of people to just go away rather than jump through hoops. (And if one was a job offer... D'OH!)
It's not as cool as the Honda robot, but you could start with a few of these from Mitsubishi.
In fact, I bet that Robert Heinlein would have approved of these more than the House of the Future. If he agreed with his main character in The Door into Summer. Probably.
Oh yeah, I forgot: The military is supposed to have their own independant routing and whatnot, but I didn't see any assurances that none of their systems were affected by Slammer.
That's my point. What happens when the net is under heavy load, and someone dumps another heavy load on top of it? How many other 911/bank/ATM sevices would fail? It could even affect pr0n downloads!

I got it, but I had help from Spare Head #2.
Narf! "American enough"? Max started in Britain. (And that weird accent he has is Canadian.) I've got the original 1h movie version.
Okay, she's got all the personality of Clippy, but give it time.
DS9? :^)
And in Bambi, guess what? They killed Bambi's mother!
It's because they cut Wil's scene. :)
There is a Climax Michigan. (I wonder what the town limit signs say: "You are now entering Climax" "Climax Pop. 24,000"??)

Bummer, what was it about her messages that your filter was tagging as spam?

Pfft, locating spammers isn't that hard. Besides, they could just hire shiksaa, the minor goddess of news.admin.net-abuse.email, no worries!
Since Slammer works by overflowing buffers, and then switches the target to maximum output..
Dang, it ate my link! Let's try the magic word again: Mitsubishi!

With a Windows WC, exactly what happens during a General Protection Fault?
The most important feature: How easy it would be to overclock the house?
With a Microsoft-Home: if you threw a party, once the nineth person entered, the house would shut down util you upgraded your licence.
I notice that you're trying to install Service Pack 1b. Since that Service Pack isn't available yet, you have to install the hot patch.
Interesting, but I think I'd find a lot of the features more annoying than useful.
