CAN-SPAM compliant and filter proof
I’m cleaning my spam-bin (collected from above my SpamAssassin threshold on the server, so pretty large).
The CAN-SPAM compliant stuff is pretty easy to find. The subject lines and senders are descriptive, in contrast to the “criminal” spammers who try to trick you into opening their mails, or advertize the three P’s.
The problem for CAN-SPAM compliant spammers (yes, I call them that, even though they themselves say they’re in the bulk e-mail business), is that mail server admins might implement content filters that look for specific patterns.
Like unsubscription links.
Privacy policy
Sometimes their attempts at being innovative, trying to avoid those filters, are kinda funny. Like this one:
“detach yourselves off this list”
“To remove your email from our database or unsubscribe”
“getmeoff” (a smart way to filter this one: getmeoff:http )
“To unsubscribe from this ADVERTISEMENT”
“Want to block this message then visit”
Doesn’t exactly sound idiomatic, does it?

Sorry for asking a silly question, but what are these three Ps?
Google says, it could be:
Performance, Power, and Price
Public Domain; Public Interest; Public Funding
Political Will, Policy and Participation
proactive, political and practical
Perl, PHP, and Python
patience, persistence and pleasure
Policies, People and Processes
But this somehow doesn’t fit into the context here.
Is it, by chance, pi11s, pr0n and p0ker?
At least these would be the 3 musketeers I myself associate with spam
