Talk About eXtreme Sports


Rock climbing? Tap dancing with piranhas? Jumping out of airplanes with or without parachute? Chicken squat.

You want a sport? I'll give you a sport.

SpamAssassin-baiting.

Yes, the latest in a long line of Geek Sports ™, SpamAssassin-baiting encourages you to think fast, push the envelope of spamlike content, all while writing something a human being would be willing to sit still and read.

SpamAssassin-baiting


The goal: to write a human-readable email that makes something resembling sense, while garnering the highest possible SpamAssassin score you can achieve.

Bonus points for: how funny you can be doing it.

[Tweaking SpamAssassin in your favor is frowned on, so don't do it.]

Kudos to Senor Dollmont, parent and patron of the fine art, sport, and alternative lifestyle of SpamAssassin-baiting.
