    Anyone else getting a ton of these lately? They've been finding a way through my junk mail blocker. I seem to get about 20 or more of these a day.

    Me too. They are not getting through my junk mail blocker though...they are just filling up my junk mail box.

    My work email is getting like 30 of these a day. There's some sort of spam and some sort of virus-like thing. What's really bad is that I don't think we can block it. Our options with the filter, as far as I can tell, are to either block the address (not useful when they spoof addresses or sign up for a bunch of free accounts) or to start putting everything in junk mail except for "trusted senders". (Also not good; students or people interested in the university could email me from no telling what account and I don't want it to get lost.)

    That's your problem. This is one of the most active email viruses/worms out there right now.
