    That's worrisome, because I tend to block every mail with English in the topic, unless it contains "apolyton". Will the spammers (all English-speaking) find a way past my protection?

      I dont think it's a big problem. Hell, I'm not even sure it isnt just some weird coincidence. For now, I just think its an interesting possibility and when I see threads like this I chime in with my 2 cents.

            @Spiffor: You don't get any French-speaking spam? I get noticeable amounts on my French address.

                  @Kuciwalker: I'm a Swede, living in Germany, and having a French email address. Confusing, isn't it?

                    I don't get French spam but Spanish spam. They always want to increase el tamaño de mi pene.

                      I get spam in every language I know, and in a couple I don't.

                      They cover every topic one could possibly imagine, and then some.

                        I've been getting some odd messages lately of spam coming from my email address.

                        I don't spam people, but somehow spammers have figured out a way to use my email to spam others.

                              that's a great idea. I should block all e-mails with English in the topic. Of course that's the only language I can speak... But it's worth it to get rid of spam.
