It's what's called a hash buster.

You fill an e-mail with random comments and it makes it harder for antispam programs like dcc (http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/) to filter out spam.

However, html comments are a dead giveaway and many people just search for the <!-- in e-mails and automatically delete them.

I use Spam Inspector, it has a free trial and after that you have to pay;) , I find it really good, others swear by Mail washer.

A bit of Googling should help you sort out your little spam problem.


oh I don't know if anyone else has said this yet but :welcome: .
