[ASRG] 2. analysis and characterization work - "regional" spam

2003-10-06 09:16:24
Here in Brazil I find more and more what I like to call "national" or even "regional" spam. This are clearly home-brewn advertisings, almost all of them contain full company information (address, telephone, contact person) and are sent to very mixed lists of recipients. They are trying to sell almost everything from t-shirts to coffee mugs to dental services.

The most common mailer is outlook express (probably with some imported CSV files).

It does not fit in the mass-spammer profile, yet its still spam. The amount is sometimes amazing and exceeds the usual viagra and HGH spam.

I think that kind of spam would probably be eliminated by legislation.

Are there similar occurances in other countries? To which extent?

Andreas
