Yes. From the looks of it 0spam is YABCRS (Yet another broken challenge-response system). You're probably getting them due to forged sober viruses being sent in your name to people who are 0spam customers. Alternatively, you could intentionally release all the messages, knowing that they are definitely spam or viruses. I often take this approach to CR systems. If I really sent the message, I'll refuse to release it. If I know I didn't send the message, I'll intentionally release it. Put another way, if you're enough of a jerk to use a CR system that bombards me with challenges, I feel no remorse in using completely arbitrary choices about what I do with those challenges. After all, why are you trusting ME to filter your mail for you? More importantly, why are you foisting the task upon me unwillingly, and expecting me to perform this task well? Hopefully they eventually learn that the CR approach really only means you are trusting outsiders to filter mail for you, and who knows what they'll do.
