Sounds like the product of a bot registering domain names.

Which is a newish twist, I guess.

A particular variety of spam kept leaking past my filters, and on a closer look, that's because it's all from a moderately trusted source: Google!

Specifically, Google Groups - which apparently lets other people subscribe non-Google addresses to groups without confirmation, which is what the spammers are using. But because this address of mine does not have a Google account associated with it, there's no way to unsubscribe or report abuse: these can only be done via the web interface... which, having no account, I can't log into.

But wait! The headers also give a mailto: address to unsubscribe. Except that it returns a message just telling you to log in on the web and unsubscribe there.

Time to add a new filter that just auto-deletes anything from Google Groups.

Look, I don't have time to put together a Charlie X/Charlie Brown mashup in Gimp, but I leave you with the mental image.

Ripple (XRP) Might Explode Alongside Bitcon

I like that typo. It's honest.
