It's a really old meme.

Honestly, I wouldn’t consider this trolling. It’s a low-effort dismissal here (probably why it’s been flagged to death), but it’s still insightful and accurate. The first time it came up, certainly over twenty years ago and I’m not sure how much more (but you can find the form from at least that far back), it was honest weariness with claims of having solved spam.

If you’re not familiar with these things, the keyword is FUSSP (Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem).

Was it the form about various anti-spam solutions to fill out?

I just looked through my Spam folder. I have 48 messages in the month to date. 18 of them are from at least ten domain names matching /^(marketexec|marketexecmail|market-exec)?\d{1,2}\.co\.uk$/. Domains cost money, but not that much, and people do do things like this.

(There’s also the problem of senders aggregating messages from untrusted parties, so that reputation is always a tricky balance. For example, I have four spam messages from gmail.com this month. When I’m not getting bursts like this marketexecmail stuff that started two weeks ago and will probably stop within another couple of weeks, I find that at least a quarter of my spam messages come from gmail.com, outlook.com or hotmail.com; in January, it’s 12⁄46, and at least four more are from other general-public domain names that I recognise.)
