Yeah, I've been getting those too...

Personally, I just have some (rather large) body tests in my local.cf with
bad domains in 'em.

These message are being sent by (apparently) exploiting machines that have
been subjected to a particular virus, or are in some way vulnerable to this
abuse.  I've had two of my dialup users' machines used for this spam in the
last week.

I really wish there was some way of knowing who was doing this, as even if
spam isn't illegal, breaking in to other people's machines to send it
certainly is!
