Halibut Barn

SpamAssassin is doing a fairly good job of keeping my inbox free of spam and most viruses. There’s always the chance of a false positive though, so I still have it keep all the spam it catches in a separate folder and quickly skim over it every once in a while. Most of it is the familiar old Viagra, mortgage, and MAKE MONEY FAST spam, but every once in a while there’s one with a subject that just comes out of nowhere…
