I'm also experiencing such spamming, and it gets even worse as it runs as www-data, and there's no /etc/aliases redirecting it to a real user by default in exim, it seems. So there's an ever growing mailbox in /var/spool/mail/www-data :-( See #496029 that seems to relate to the aliases problem. Still this needs to be addressed on awstats side too, I guess.
