Spam has no language boundaries. I beg to differ. Looking at my Bayesian filter dumps, I see something quite different. All the words are English (if you will allow me to count those various dyslectic spellings as being "English")... I do on occasion get the odd oriental, French or Turkish(???) spam, but the volumes are so small, it doesn't even register on the filters. I have yet to receive any spam in my native Norwegian tongue. 8-) Cheers, Trond - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
