Dear spammer at 79.142.68.99,

I'm glad to see that you finally figured out how your spam software works:

  1. attempt at 8:29am: "comment3, "
  2. attempt at 9:29am: "comment4, "
  3. attempt at 10:29am: "comment6, "
  4. attempt at 11:28am: "comment1, "
  5. attempt at 12:28pm: "comment6, "
  6. attempt at 2:36pm: You did it! Finally a text with 30 links to http://zabagu5te.info - congrats!

Once you figured that one out, you started sending more of the same, always using different domains. I see you got a bunch of nice .info domains there:

taganide.info, tabarge7.info, takaji4re.info, taruji7re.info, zabagu5te.info. All of them seem to be hosted with German hoster Hetzner. I bet their abuse department will be pleased. Hope those domains were cheap ...

As for the source of all that crap: Well, 79.142.68.99 belongs to AltusHost, who manage to state their country as NL but give an address in Belize. That, and the fact that I've seen a lot of spam from AltusHost-IPs recently, plus the non-favourable comments I found about them on the web are telling me that I shouldn't expect too much from their abuse department.

In any case, dear spammer, please keep on spamming. The more domain names you burn through, the better ...
