Intrusive mailing from Chinese companies.

[Eger]

We have a problem with very intrusive mailing from Chinese companies. They write from different e-mail addresses, from different IPs. We usually respond politely: „The gravity of the situation has led us to reassess our criteria for choosing business partners, particularly in light of our commitment to socially responsible and ethical practices”. We write to them that we cannot cooperate with Chinese companies (we spit in their faces, but they behave as if it was raining). They are sending more and more messages and spamming our e-mails.

Don't feed the trolls --don't respond.

Use an e-mail client that can detect a pattern, assuming there is some detectable pattern, mark them as spam.

In my opinion there is no good detectable pattern. Theoretically, our webmail engine learns (we mark unwanted mail and move it to spam), but in practice, more than half of Chinese messages end up in our inbox. They can shit up our inbox at night, of course all messages are business proposals.

Save all the message content to a file until you have 1000+ words
Give me the file
I wrote a program to sort and rank the frequency of the words used long ago before there was AI.

There is always some pattern notwithstanding the occasional anomaly.

Or, ask AI to do the job

This makes my script coding work obsolete --AI spit the code out in 10 seconds (WTF)
Give this example some thought

import re
from collections import Counter

def main():
    # Define the relative path to the text file
    file_path = "rawtext-0rig.txt"
    
    # Read the contents of the file
    with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
        text = file.read().lower()  # Convert the text to lowercase to avoid case-sensitive differences

    # Remove punctuation and non-word characters, and split the text into words
    words = re.findall(r'\b\w+\b', text)

    # Count the occurrences of each word
    word_count = Counter(words)

    # Sort words by their count in descending order
    sorted_word_count = sorted(word_count.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)

    # Print the sorted words and their counts
    print("Word\tCount")
    print("-" * 20)
    for word, count in sorted_word_count:
        print(f"{word}\t{count}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
