[edit] Spam Filter Tricks

The article mentions a function of filler text as something with the capability of "spoofing spam filters;" and, noting the lack of example, was reminded of a spam e-mail I received on behalf of a (semi-legitimate?) online Viagra retailer. It consists of a picture containing the advertisement (only $3.33!) surrounded by filler text, which almost makes sense. It seems to have been pulled out of a novel or something. I am curious if anyone recognizes the text:

You can also find other sources through Google that use this and similar text, possibly from the same book (if it is from a book), by searching "trundling back to Iron John" [1] (mostly just a cursory search). My main concern is that the text might actually be copyrighted and the company utilizing it as filler text needs to be warned and/or brought to the attention of whoever may own the copyright to the text. 64.90.198.6 21:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
