Why are the spammers sending lots and lots of unsolicited emails with some obscure and many times not making sence words included on the email? Does that helps in not getting banned or something?

Because spam filters will look at the content to see if it's advertisement crap and putting tons of words dilutes the density of the poison words of the email so they can clear the radar of the spam email filter thing.

Hi there,

I see the reason of sending with those words... but it be easily
filtered out by inputting the similar words into the blacklist
filter.

That's the point of the random dictionary text. It acts as a filler to confuse the spam filter software.

Interesting thoughts. I recently installed a toolbar from www.cloudmark.com and amazingly it may help to block spam that is mentioned here as well, because it works on a community feedback..
