[Tfug] Odd Spam Subject Line

[Josh Miller]

I've been seeing those too.

My guess is that someone miss-configured their spam machine. It seems
like it should be inserting a string of random characters between 2 and
8 characters long in that spot, but instead it's sending the config
string.

I thought it was funny.
