Er, it's probably not "a" person if you're getting that many copies.
I for one am getting about 50 per hour myself (and to make things
worse, once it gets to about 100 messages unread, my Earthlink mailbox
reaches its 10MB limit, and all legitimate attempts to E-mail me get
sent back a "Undeliverable - Mailbox Full" response).

It's also not a spam - it's a full-blown virus. The "from" addresses
are forged, so there's little if any way of knowing who is sending
each of the copies you are getting, but I can almost guarantee that it
is more than one person.

That's true. These are coming from many ISPs.


You're more likely to get lots of these if:
(a) you send out a lot of E-mail (the more times your address appears
somewhere, the more likely it's on an infected machine);
(b) you're on a mailing list (I've been hit with virus bombs from a
mailing list I'm on in the past - infected machines send the message
to the mailing list, which happily sends copies to everybody on it);
(c) your address is on a website, especially one that a lot of people
happen to save pages onto their own machines.

Don Del Grande,


In this particular case, it seems to be going to usenet posters. I have
more than one e-mail address, but this is the only one getting spammed.
