Are you sure they are spammers?  I am getting hammered myself with
similar things.  But almost all of the mail I am getting are generated
by the SOBIG virus.  Perhaps what you are seeing is really the fallout
of that virus and not truly the work of spammers in this case.

Interesting how spammers are siblings to viruses.

I personally have been putting in private procmail rules to scrape
them off into a virus bounce folder.  But there are a lot of different
patterns out there and I am only partially affective.  The rest I have
been manually deleting.  Looking forward to this current surge of
virus hacks to subside.
